Your special place...

I again realised after a Goddess Retreat last year, how important your own quiet space is. An amazing woman told me about a place I go to, which keeps me sane and is harnessing my energy. I knew the place she referred to very well :)

The quaint harbour at Struisbaai...

My special place away from it all...

 

This is the place where I feel connected and ready to face life. I now realise that it doesn't matter if it is the sanctuary of a church or temple, a yoga mat or the privacy of a bathroom, even a corner in your home. You have to create a special place where you can connect with yourself. A place where you can go to in a moment, by merely closing your eyes. A place where you can connect with yourself.

 

I thought you had materialized from another planet or star

A familiar stranger

Gazing calmly through the stained glass windows of my eyes

Stained with grief and of old mistrust

 

I returned your smile, uncertain, while with some magical permission

Surely not from me

You rang the bells of my heart, long stilled

Knocked on the door of my mind

‘Till it opened

 

Then reverently, as monks walk

You entered the dark lonely temple of my soul

And you took a moment

         To light a candle
