"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to pray in and play in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."
- John Muir
I have been thinking today about places - in general. They come in so many different forms and functions.
I can have a place in the city or the country, or smack dab in the middle of the creepiest suburb.
You can have a place in my thoughts, in my prayers, in my heart, and some even make a place in my very soul.
I have a place that I go to write in. I have a place that I go to read in. I have a place for walking and for working. I have a few that I run to, and some that I stay away from.
I even have a certain spot in which I sit to watch my TV.
Even with all of my places I can not help but feel lost every so often. With that I find my new places. One might say that I am a collector of places. Always on the hunt.
It is my hope that with this you all think about your places. Appreciate them, love them, care for them.
And always be looking, always be open, always embrace your new place.
