So many wonderful souls drifting to the porch, warms my soul!
DR - this place is magic. If floating water is helpful in your solace, then float it shall. Nothing helpful or healing is impossible here.
I have a pretty large and eclectic vinyl album collection and a pretty nice stereo system. Peruse through, you may find just the sounds to accompany the eternal peace feeling of this place for you. The albums are in a bookshelf just inside the door. The stereo is by the window, with speakers aiming out, so that you can enjoy the music, earth sounds or whatever brings gentle healing to your soul. For me, it's classical or 60's folk/ballad music. But, there is jazz, pop, rock, progressive - everything you can think of - ahhh the powers of magic!
The fridges are stocked, the stove warm - a loaf of bread is baking in the oven, just for the lovely aroma. It's ingredients harvested from the gardens of other porch participants. Magic means I can't burn this loaf and that it'll be warm for all to enjoy as they wish. The blankets are all dryer fresh with just a hint of your favorite scent so you can snuggle your nose into the blanket should you want. The drinks are steamy hot or ice chilled as the drinker prefers. The pillows have been puffed and the whole porch swept.
I'm thinking we could have a pier on the ocean-facing side, so one can drop their feet into the water and feel connected to our Earth home.
Today, I am wrapped in a blanket of patience and courage. My drink is fresh coffee with my favorite flavor creamer blended in. I am surrounded by photos of all those I love and who I know love me. Some of you are in these photos (my imagination and your avitars filling the frames). I am breathing. Slowly and deeply, calmly and with purpose.
Once again, your presence, current or past, on this porch has brought me some healing. Thank you.
