Taking time to sit quietly and reflect has become an important part of my life and getting centered. I have a favorite park that I like to walk to near my house. Sometimes, I’ll lay down and stare at the sky...in the stillness I find clarity in my thoughts.
A few days ago I was sitting there and it occurred to me that so many people drive by this park on their daily commutes and have never seen it. In fact, many others actually walk right past it on a popular trail and don’t even know about this special place. It is a true “secret garden” - one you can’t see unless you look for it. Ironically though, there is a path that leads directly to this special place. Once you discover it, you always know the way back and it’s hard to stay away.
That made me think about how there can be a special place right in the middle of it all, and yet we don’t realize that it is there. If only we could find the path.
