I’m never leaving…
Mist on the lake 2024
This place, where my heart felt still, calm.
It filled me with a certain ease, gently stirring emotions of longing.
I could live here - or somewhere like it,
Where the quiet sound of waves and tiny splashes ripple out, creating circles that sparkle and dance in the sun.
Where the morning mist hung gently over the water, moving quietly, ghost-like.
Where not a sound was heard save for the echoes of birds singing their morning songs.
I’m never leaving…
A thought that came to me as I sat quietly, willing this moment to embed itself in my soul so I might return to it when my body is no longer here.
This place. This moment.
I wake to the light emerging from its darkness - life, as I’ve known it, has returned.
The ghost-like mist, those moments of stillness and quiet that wrapped around me, linger within,
And take me back to that place, that moment.
I’m never leaving…
Holidays 2024
Somewhere deep within us we need to find a space or place that brings us calm, quiet and peace. Spending my holiday by the water prompted me to embed this memory - I couldn’t capture its true beauty or the feelings I felt fully as I sat by the water and witnessed the mist moving over the water and around me or the sparkles that danced on the water in the sun.
And then, just like that, we’re back to “old clothes and porridge”, waking up to Fall where the light emerges later in the morning and routines are back to normal. Somehow, someway, we need to find that place or space.
Where is your place or space?
