Rest There

Just for now.
Find a corner of your
soul that feels good.
Rest there.

A rainbow is
a promise written in color across the gray, a hush between thunder and calm where the soul
remembers how to breathe.

I'm so happy to have read these quotes, and seen that bench upon which to rest, even if my feet might get wet! Jaiya John helped me find the corner of my soul where I could forget all the troubles of the world for a moment. Thanks Cloudia!

Fantastic rainbow photo and poem, Cloudia. Whenever I see a rainbow, I think of God's covenant with Noah. Blessings!

I love both the rainbow photo and your poem. They complement each other perfectly!

These quotes are beautifully grounding reminders that even in moments of difficulty, growth, renewal, and light are always within reach if we pause, breathe, and stay present

Aloha from Oklahoma. I love your Mountains close to the sea, the sea sunsets, flowers and cats. We don't have the sea but we have flowers and cats, and lots of winter wheat and windmills.

Hello Cloudia, I saw the beautiful Blue Ginger on Flower foto but it wouldn't let me comment. I knew I'd see your post elsewhere so here I am to say hi and great photos this week.
