Reflective Writing - The Safe Haven
3/12/2023
A haven of calm amidst the chaos of life. A place to rest, to be, to marvel at the sights and sounds of the amazing world we live in and to think about life and the lives of others. Why the hurry? Why the sad face? Why the furrowed brow and pursed lips that speak of grinding toil? Come and rest with me. Come, enjoy the day. Drink in the beauty. Relax.
It’s not always easy to take the time. To find the time. To allow myself the time but when I do something falls away. A clump of mud here, a limpet there, a few barnacles scraped off the underside.
When it’s time, I leave the haven and sail back into the roiling sea, sleeker, smoother, more agile in the water. And much more alive.
