June Exploration: Where The Wild Things Are

Where do you belong? What makes you feel alive or at peace? What brings you happiness and joy? What settles you? What brings that warm and cozy feeling? Or that sense of freedom? Where are the wild things and where are the sane things that are the GPS of our heart and soul?

Breathe. Ponder. Wonder and Wander.

For me it’s nature but particularly the beach, the garden, and a nice clean park. It can be my front porch or my backyard. It can be home. It can be traveling to places but I must find something about that place that feels safe and welcoming. It’s funny because as much as I love the quiet and chill time, you would think Vegas would be a place I wouldn’t enjoy visiting. But, it is. I enjoyed Paris. I enjoyed Milpitas/San Jose, California. I had a great time in the country of Panama but, I don’t have to go back to visit again.

I belong in art museums and bookstores. I belong on a yoga mat. I belong teaching and sometimes preaching. I belong at a table or desk writing novels and self help book and poems. I belong with family. I belong to being the mother of one and the auntie of many. Although, I am single I prefer being in a relationship. It’s just I prefer being in a healthy one and I understand the value of that now. So, I belong partnered up so to speak. I love love and romance and everyday boring life. All of this is where the wild things are to me.

Where do you belong?
