the wind rises,shakes the leaves on the tall palm trees ... swaying, overhead the sky is swathed in blue-grey clouds, lightning streaks across, a sudden white flash and the thunder booms its warning:a storm comes.
within, the heart is still, an oasis of tranquil blooms and life-giving lakes. a sanctuary that allows one time, a place to ponder, reflect, to make sense of the endless movement all around, movement that sweeps one up and embraces.
i will not fear the storm without, for i have my oasis within. and when life threatens to overwhelm...for a moment, i retreat within. i am ready to face the world again,a little wiser, a little steadier.

Yep. Oasis, ivory tower, coconut shell... whatever you call it, we all need a sanctuary we can retreat into every now and then for healing.
