vastness
opens windows in my soul
to the universe
meditations
bring calm
Copyright 2021 Brenda Davis Harsham
Notes: Usually a trip to the ocean has the same effect — putting things into perspective. Taking me outside myself. Lowers my need to control things that are not possible to control, and lessens anxiety as a result. What works for you?
Writing Tip: Sometimes the blank page shrieks insults instead of invitations. At times like those, I wander through favorite books or blog hop, looking for inspiration and solace. I’m never disappointed…

Other than reading this, I find long walks looking for art, and/or sewing calm me!
Sounds like all is well in Brenda land!

Thanks, Pat. I couldn’t decide if what I was feeling was calm or joy. In that moment, they felt so much the same.

Either way, it’s a very good thing! 🙂

So beautiful. Water or woods work for me or just walking anywhere

That works, too. Harder to set out on a walk like that these days — working full-time.

Yes and that will be me soon, luckily I try to take my class outside to go on a walk or explore a bit each day so I can get my fix

A good plan. How smart of you to have a job where that is part of the day.

So nice to see you at Colleen’s Word Craft Tanka Tuesday. I just put in my link!
I love to look up at the stars… and to be at the ocean too.
I haven’t quite gotten meditations down. But then we all have different ways to cope. I get lost in books.
Hope all is well with you and yours Jules (JulesPaige).

Books help, too, but somehow I don’t get the same calm and inward focus. 🙂 Glad to see you here. I’ll try to drop by later.
