Still water, still mind

Some mornings the lake is so calm it feels like the world has paused. The mountains double in the water, and for a minute you cannot tell which way is up.
I sat there for an hour and took three photographs. That is not a bad ratio. Most days we take too many pictures and look at too few of them.
Slowing down is not doing less. It is noticing more.
If you go, go early, go quietly, and leave the lake the way you found it.
