Little Secrets

In a room of people

Full of noise and light

Hectic and chaotic

A constant thrum

Overwhelmingly so

I find a slice of happiness

With the thought of you

And I smile as I keep

My little secrets inside

The Pool of Siloam is a beautiful oasis deep down a gully in the Blue Mountains and is surrounded by sandstone cliffs, moss, and large fern trees. The waterfall cascades over a sandstone overhang, and behind it is a little spot you can squeeze into and look out over the shallow sandy pool.

The falls weren't in full flow on this day, but the serenity and stillness was exactly what I needed. It was so calm and beautiful, I spent a solid hour just enjoying being in such a gorgeous place.

When was the last time you took the time to sit and commune with yourself in your space?
