When the world around me is exploding and my shoulders have reached the zenith of their upwards progress in an attempt to compensate for the madness in which I am embroiled, my thoughts run to you.
I take myself to my place of safety, where I am warm and cossetted and loved.
I feel your lips gentle against my hair and let my mind recapture the utter stillness of that haven.
Relaxing my body into the circle of your arm as your palm curves instinctively around my hip.
Snuggle into the comfort of your embrace, resting my cheek upon the soft skin of your shoulder and my hand upon your naked chest.
Hear the soothing crackle of the hair beneath the passage of my fingers.
Circle the palm upwards to find the stubble of your chin, the dimpled walnut reassuringly prickles each fingertip as I stroke away the sadness and anxiety of the difficult parts of my life.
Breathing quietly and carefully with each calming revolution: crackle, prickle, around; crackle, prickle, around.
When I feel the stress threatening to overwhelm me, I allow my mind to escape here.
For this is my Sanctuary.
That’s really beautiful, BG x
That cake sums up how I’m starting to feel. It’s bloody lovely.

We all need somewhere to escape to every now and then; sounds to me like you’ve found a place that’s pretty perfect for you.
That is beau, cake. But I’m afraid I didn’t get past the first few lines. For some reason lately this kind of thing makes me sad. BUT! I’m glad you have this in your life. I hope you cling to it with ever last breath you have, dearheart.
be right back,

Loved it. I remember what that feels like and hope to feel it again.
Everyone should have their sanctuary. I’m glad you have yours.
Hope it continues to be what it is for you, Cake. Frankly, I’ve always envied those who have a place to go.
A simple thing that protects us from everything
Sanctuary is itself one of the most exquisite words in the English language. Enjoy it. I’m sure you know you need it. All the more reason to treasure it.
Cake,I liked this bit of peace very much.
I hope you are writing something for the blog book. It would be good to have your thoughts. x
