Sacred Cubbyhole

“ 

"So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters;

and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say."

Virginia Woolf

It is advisable for each of us to have a private space, no matter how grand or small.  It can be a favorite park bench; a spare chair at the library or a nook in a cafe.  We each need an area where we automatically feel safe and comfortable.  Our bodies and our senses immediately recognize the comfort zone.

A contemplative writer lived in a petite studio apartment.  She craved a writing space separate from her other things.   Brilliantly, she turned a chair around to face the wall.  There was a small end table placed by the chair previously, so it could hold her coffee, paper, candle, and pens. The big over stuffed chair hid a decent blank space on the wall.   So she began daily to add a picture to the wall forming a collage.  When she turned the chair back around, nothing could be seen.

There are things we crave in our lives, but perhaps we feel it is too early or too late, which is not true at all.  A person with an unfinished dream can alter, switch, and regroup portions to fit a scale that can be managed at this point in his or her life.  Be creative and discover a sacred cubbyhole to hold  to give more life to desires.
