Knock, Knock!
Who’s there?
Quiet.
Quiet, Who?
Yes, it’s time we met.
Let me introduce myself. I exist in a room where you can close a door and shut out the noise, a place in your mind that can be still, even when chaos may be all around you. I’m what you might desire after a long day or what you might see if you follow me into the next steps of this journey. Let me lead you into the cave that holds your spirit, holds your longings, holds you in ways only imagined. You see, I’m safe in here. In the quiet place of your mind, heart, and soul. Offering an opportunity to glide and glean the universe of the self.
Sometimes people create a safe space in a bedroom, or on a couch, or within the inner sanctum of personal space, whatever that looks like and feels like for you, go there. Usually, no one is around or allowed to enter your privacy during this time. You have the right to make sure of this. Setting a boundary that is yours. When honoring it yourself, others will follow your lead.
