When I have down periods in my life for whatever reason(s), I sometimes find myself longing for a place to escape for a while. I feel the need for quiet and peace, a place where I can take my own time and heal.
I imagine going back to Avalon to eat the apples and to rest with my feet in the lake. Or I see heading southwest to New Mexico where Coyote might trick me into dancing under the moon. And again, I can see running into Buffalo in Yellowstone who says nothing but instills in me the peace and strength to keep walking. That's just the beginning. The possibilities are endless.
What do you imagine? Where would you like to go? Does it exist in real life or only in your soul's desire?
Things are down right now. I yearn for a place to find stillness, where I can rinse my heart in the streams and lay it out in the sun to dry, cleansed and blessed.
I hope you all find the places you need.
