Your Own Quiet Corner
Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
The sanctuary Hesse names is not a place you build or earn. It is already there, underneath the noise of the day. You don't have to travel far to find it. Sometimes it arrives in a single exhale, when you stop waiting for permission to be still. The sanctuary asks nothing of you but your presence. It doesn't require peace or clarity or even the right conditions. It simply waits.
Question for today
Where in your body do you feel most like yourself?
Practice
Breathe in for four counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight. Repeat three times. Notice what shifts.
