The catalyst for this reflection is a combination of exposed words from a previously prepared background ["The obvious quite often is ignored."] combined the familiar words from Psalm 23: "...he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul." I was struck by the simplicity of resting beside quiet waters and having one's soul restored...which is quite obvious and is often ignored. The net result of noting the obvious-and acting upon it (i.e. resting beside still waters) is PEACE.
