Echoes of the Universe - The Book of Reflections - Place

Though daily onslaughts all around, and though fresh wounds abound to shake my essence, I bravely turn to face the storm.

Amid life’s chaos, din and clamor, there is a place within the universe – a private place no one can see, Where you may rest, and having rested – gather strength – to be all that you can be.

And yet the burdens thrust upon me do not leave me unscathed. If only I cast my spirit upon that which I know to be within my grasp, my wounds will heal.

Cradled in my thorny nest, I seek – I search – I cannot find the sun. The light – the light, I need the light to warm my soul and softly bathe the wounds I bear.

My courage builds with each return, the strength of what I am. The gift I hold within my soul bursts forth upon the universe.

I cast my soul – my very being – out upon the waters so all that thirst may drink of it and know who I am.
