Gorgeous riding Kate, yes we definitely need those places that bring us back to our center and wash our mind from the conditioning. The world will try to pull itself over your eyes and we have to clean our consciousness frequently. You can feel the residence in your words thank you for sharing. ā¤ļø
āwhere timeās linearity dissolves, absorbing boundaries that were never ours to create.ā
Thereās an expansive beauty in the way you captured that feelingā¦ the kind of writing that pulls us out of ourselves for a momentā¦ thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful, Kate. Reading it felt like a slow exhale and a reminder that thereās an infinite amount of love and hope underneath all our (inner) noise. Just the reminder I needed today, immersed in the ācultural trance that enslaves us without awarenessā. Thanks for sharing some of that special place here.
Thank you Nathalie, it is definitely our inner noise that gets in the way - or mine for sure. The words I write are always a reminder for me too, especially the sense of a cultural trance that we all seem to be increasingly caught up in.
What stayed with me most was the feeling of returning rather than escaping. The poem does not seek transcendence away from the body or the world, but a quieter realignment within them.
āAs the waves breathe / a quiet exhale, / I remember again to untetherā¦ā
There is something deeply restorative in that movement. Like the landscape is not healing the speaker from outside, but gently helping them remember what was already waiting underneath the noise.

Thanks so much Olivia, since I wrote this I feel like Iām coming back to myself again, slowly. š
Wandering in the right places then transforming through writing can do that Kate š¤ so happy to hear that!
Wow! This is so beautiful. I just love this part, especially -
As the waves breathe
a quiet exhale,
I remember again to untether
unwanted emotion.
And I entrust my soul to
that which I cannot see,
an inescapable love
my deepest failings
cannot sever.
Thank you, Kate. Hugs, peace, and love to you.
Thank you Nikki, hugs, peace and love back to you.
Love this, Kate. Especially these lines:

Absolutely beautiful, I love the descriptive words you have chosen in capturing the essence of a sanctuary for you ā¤ļø.
