Where

I arrived home after church a few weeks ago to find this beautiful missive Laurence wrote for me.

Where

Where is the excitement from the rolling ocean
without the sound of waves meeting the sand?

Where is the peace from a babbling brook
without the sound of movement between pebbles?

Where is the love from a heart
without the sound of a beat against a chest?

Where is the emotion from music
without the sound of notes reaching the mind?

Nowhere to be found if you are not playing.

Nowhere to be found if you are not speaking.

Nowhere to be found if you are not in body.

Nowhere to be found if you are not in thought.

Laurence
