Where is Your Cave?

A friend and I were discussing where we go when we are feeling blue. Do you hide under the covers for a few hours? Do you have a closet you make into a "safe place"? We probably all have that special place where we come apart from the world.  There we can unload a boat full of conflicting emotions and become regenerated to come back into life feeling more whole.

When I got to think about it I saw that going to the movies can sometimes be my cave. It's dark, I feel a variety of emotions as the story on the screen unfolds, eat comfort food.... popcorn and escape for a few hours undisturbed. And often the movie gives me food for thought about my own life, inspires me and lifts me up.

Hopefully too, you have someone to talk your feelings out with.We all need to realize that in those desperate moments it might feel like we are alone but we are not.. It requires being willing to be vulnerable with another person. To let them see into us... that's another way to be intimate with another...."in to me see".

So if you are feeling the blues today, know that this too shall pass. Come apart as you need to AND talk it out with someone as well. You are not alone.
