The messages I’m receiving today are ‘calm’ and ‘reflection.’ I’m interested by the instincts I have to run around ‘as normal,’ alongside the chief effect of Covid-19 which, having drained me of energy, insists on ‘rest.’
So I’ve been thinking a lot about the harbours I’ve known in my life – the quiet backwaters where little vessels take time out from riding oceans and are protected and sometimes maintained, re-painted, sea-proofed, even loved there. And – gratefully – I ask myself ‘where would I be without them?’
Talking of boats I remember climbing the rigging of a tall ship with you below praying that I don’t fall down. I was always very calm but not the spectators I think. Do hope that the Covid passes without incident. Been there done that and we’re still here
Many thanks! I remember it well – that and many other happy occasions. Much love for you both 🙂🌱
My dearly departed grandmother used to counsel me to embrace the occasional ‘pause that refreshes.’ Sounds like that’s where you’re at right now, dear friend. xx
How we remember our grandmothers! – and how wise their good counsel 🙂xx
Indeed. ❤️❤️ xx
