That’s where I’ve been lately—lazing. Actually, ‘cocooning’ might be a better word for it. Sometimes, we all need a little down time, time to refresh, relax, rejuvenate, reconfigure, and any other alliterative verbs which come to mind.
I’m in healing mode right now, and I’m very glad to be able to take the time to do so. There haven’t been any tragedies or catastrophes, I’m relieved to say. It’s just been a time to water my inner garden and patiently wait for the tender sprouts to emerge.
Today, I am with a friend at her beloved lake house. A little later, we’ll drive to a beautiful small city to cheer on a mutual acquaintance as she begins a new journey of faith. How fortunate we are to be able to do so! The changing colors are still visible in the surrounding landscape, and the mist softens the views, matching them to the gentle peace within. Our drive will be unhurried, the only timetable being when to arrive. Leaving will happen whenever the moment feels right.
I’m grateful today for the slow pace which encourages deep peace and an appreciation for this very moment.
