MAM Day Twenty Six – Refuge

From a MAM prompt. Wouldn’t we all like to have places of refuge and be able to provide them for others.

Here are some places I go to for refuge. Some where I physically go and some where I go in my mind’s eye.

The Adamant Quarry. Just down the road from me.
Another view of the quarry
Shangri La by the stream in Adamant Village
The grounds of the Ashram in Worcester
Inside the cave at the ashram
A stream by one of the East Montpelier trails
A cairn by the stream at a campsite near the town of Lincoln, Vermont
Sitting by a pond
Or maybe kayaking on one
Farther afield on the beach in Culebra in my mind’s eye
And sometimes when I meditate I go to one of my favorite childhood places -in my mom’s easy chair cuddling with her. That’s a Shirley Temple doll my grandpa, her father, gave me.

My mother always joked: “If I could unzip my womb I’d let you back in“

Now that’s a thought to curl up and go to sleep with.

    What a sweet picture of you and your mum. Just lovely. So enjoyed all these refuges. Made me want to get outside with a camera too… Too long inside with my photo files and paintbrushes! Thank you for all of them. Nicky
