Pascal Mercier said, “We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.” Life gets a hold of us and too often we let the bad times outweigh the good in our memories. We lose ourselves in those thoughts. But there are certain places where our souls know they are safe, as if they're in the arms of a kind eyed old friend. We go to those places and suddenly we're back to normal.
I'm learning that we need to hold onto those places. Tightly. To remind ourselves that those things are still there. We can always get back to the good.
