What so many need right now is
a safe place to fall apart.
Not in a tragic way, but like
an extended exhale. No advice.
No interruptions to your
thought process.
No list of what’s next to heal.
A safe place where you know
you are safely held & that by
resting, you will soon rise.
Look for this place.
Find it in a book, a nap, a walk,
a conversation with a friend,
a drive in your car.
Look for moments where
you are not asked for
anything other than to be.
If you have the capacity,
look for ways to hold
this space for others.
That too, nourishes the soul.
(Nate Postlethwait)
