Find a Place of Repose I was driving down a Nevada highway feeling tense and agitated when the sign appeared: "To the Nature Sanctuary." I ignored the first entrance; then turned at the second one. In a few short feet, the road and scenery changed from baron, flat highway into a terrain of serene repose. A family of ducks bathed and swam in a small lake, surrounded by trees. Tiny wrens pet at the gravel. A boy about thirteen sat fishing, a picnic lunch by his side. In only a few minutes, my agitation disappeared. I found a place of peace. Rest when you become tense, afraid, upset. Rest until peace returns. Stop what you're doing. Take a moment, take an hour. Take the time you need to restore peace. Breathe deeply. Breathe in the quiet beauty of the world around you. Let it be a sanctuary that soothes and calms your soul. Places of healing and repose our moments away. Find them in the world around you. Then discover those places in yourself. The universe holds the antidote for your fears and agitation. It offers all the healing you need. The healing is right around the corner. Take a moment, take an hour. When you feel your peace interrupted, look for a place of repose. Melody Beattie (1948 - ) Journey To The Heart 📖
