Dear Sanctuary,
Feeling frazzled and fried from a tough interaction at work and sensing a need for some
soothing water time yesterday afternoon, I drove by my favorite little pond, a few
neighborhoods down. This was the first time I've actually ever gotten out and, sitting on
a cheerful red metal bench near water's edge, I took it all in.
Mallard ducks and Canadian geese swimming and snacking, smooth as glass water except
for the ripples around my feathered companions, gentle splashing as one of them took a
bath using a nearby bush as a shower curtain, and the big, beautiful, sky-blue bowl of sky
holding all of us.
A warm smile spread as I noticed the deep, calming breaths start to rise and fall
on their own. ❤
That blessed pocket of Sanctuary was exactly what I needed in that moment to begin
the unfolding which continues this morning.
Sometimes it just takes a while, yes?
Yes.
Gratefully,
Debbie
