For the past three days, I've had the pleasure of enjoying my morning coffee lakeside at my parents' cottage. I always underestimate the peace I feel here. I know it's more than just a break from work and the chaos of my usual routine. The incredible hospitality extended by my family and the joy my children experience here certainly contributes to the welcome sojourn. But I also think it's just easier for the stillness to penetrate my soul when I'm near water. Water, vital for all known forms of life, seems to nourish the contemplative one too.
