Beacon Hill Park V8V 2N9 Victoria, BC, Canada

Natural silence, stillness, beauty and balance can be found wherever we live, work, relate and struggle. And in Beacon Hill Park, such essential qualities can reveal themselves to us in profound ways that feel extraordinarily clear and vibrantly alive.

Here’s a photo for you from Mayors Grove in Beacon Hill Park, taken early one morning a few years ago, right after a wonderful snowfall during the night.

There is an old (completed in 1889) stone bridge over Goodacre Lake in Beacon Hill Park. In the winter, the stones in the bridge collect the sun’s warmth and freely share it with anyone who visits, surrounded by an extraordinary diversity of plants and wildlife!

Fountain Lake in Beacon Hill Park is a wonderful place to enjoy wildlife. Great Blue Herons go there to eat and one day this heron tucked itself inside the shadow of a busy, radiating plant at the edge of the water as a way of cloaking itself while hunting fish. Then, once it had its fill, it emerged out into the sun without making a ripple . . . to warm itself . . . to show the brilliance and beauty of silent stillness in living form.
