Once upon a seaside walk I passed a towering rock that sheltered me, for a silent moment, shocking me with sudden calm in its invisible isolation chamber. The looming presence of the stone sucked every sound, stilling all noise of gusting wind or waves. A chance to pause; I store that unexpected peace within me.

I'm not sure where or when it was I experienced it but your words very vividly reminded me of that sensation of sudden silent shelter. Thank you.
solitude is an important part of life...a chance to pause...nice...
You've captured a feeling I've had many times whilst walking around Orcombe Point. Loved it.

"unexpected peace" ~ indeed, coming from a stone that sucks the noise. I enjoyed the serenity of your 55 this morning.
