Serenity, peace, tranquility... missing elements in many of our daily lives. I enjoy taking time, stepping out of the rush just to... be. To allow the beauty around me to resonate with me. It is not that such moments somehow rid me of any stress, it is rather that such stress is put in context. I am one person in a universe so big that at night, I watch the light of stars that no longer exist. At one level that blows my mind and at another it allows me to rest, be at peace, enjoy a moment of tranquility as I did in Mount Stewart when I snapped this.
