it occupies it.
I took this photo while I was feeling a bit small in my own home. In the background, there were voices, dishes, and a rhythm I did not set. I felt like a guest, as if I were only here to be served temporarily. But then, I saw these roses. I noticed how they weren’t fighting the shadows in the corner, they were effortlessly standing in their own light.In this season of motherhood, my Environmental Wellness (my outer world) feels unpredictable. I can’t always control how things move around the house or how my children are being handled by others. But my Emotional Wellness (my inner world) is a different realm.
In this season of motherhood, my Environmental Wellness (my outer world) feels unpredictable. I can’t always control how things move around the house or how my children are being handled by others. But my Emotional Wellness (my inner world) is a different realm.
The relationship between the two is like a dance on eggshells. When the outer world is loud, I must make the inner world a soft place to land. I realized that if I can find just one “white space”, a single moment or an object that feels like me, then I can stop the “performance” and just be myself again.
I am not a guest in my soul.
