Sitting down and relaxing, listening to the ambient noise of nature, enjoying the company of friends. A book, a cup of tea. Working to sustain our life and others.
Discussing our woes and what we find hard in life, seeking dialogue and coming to terms with those around us. Seeking understanding and compassion, caring for each other.
In troubled times these things can become hard, especially as we guard them. They are worth guarding, and yet it is important to understand how they are equally the source of why we guard them.
This is perhaps worth not forgetting.
