Whenever I feel overwhelmed with life (practically a daily occurrence) I am extremely fortunate to have places within walking distance that I can go to, at least, in the summertime.
Ah, to be at that picnic table, under that big tree, unapologetically doing absolutely NOTHING.
It is dead quiet there. Sigh.
No office politics. No doctor visits. No missing in non action buses. No telephones ringing. Just me, the tree, and the occasional bug, chipmunk or curious sparrows.
In the winter time, I have these pictures of solitude, and a slight anxiety.
We all need a sanctuary. I hope you find yours.
