Somewhere Only We Know


It’s a common occurrence to become saddened by what goes on in the world around us … there is so much shizit (this is a word I like to use from time-to-time to refrain from saying the other, which I’m sure you can pinpoint) … and well, sometimes, it gets a little overwhelming to take in …

I like to go to a place of solitude and placate in those times … as I imagine it, it’s a place of beautiful things … there is an abundance of sunshine, and the people within my little world, are happy… at least for a moment in time … I guess I like to think it’s just a little taste of Heaven …

Unfortunately, the painstaking reality is, the world waits on the other side of it … I don’t understand the heartlessness of people, but at times, in those moments, I do understand and see the beauty in all of us … compassion usually surfaces in many desolate times, which helps to accept the reality we live in …

But … it’s nice to think that we can escape to a place where we only know … a place where we can be silent, where grace and mercy are in abundance … where there is no pain or loneliness, and for a moment, we see that life truly can be magical …
