to return

What I have learned over the years is that there are places that help us return to our life with the Divine, with ourselves, and with others.

They might be beaches on islands far away. But they don’t have to be.

It might be a humble hermitage where we go for a day. But maybe not.

A specific chair in our home, during a specific time of the day when all is still, and a cup of coffee may be all we need.

The point isn’t where the “return” happens, but that it happens.
