“Touchstone”

Day 64, #2026bigyearproject

Monsters may skulk under the bed.

Who knows what waits along a shadowy road?

Thunder, lightning, and driving rain can be terrifying.

We all need a sanctuary now and then.

We look for that lighted porch lamp after a tiring journey.

We are bolstered by the embrace of folks who love us fiercely.

We crave a soft place where we may sigh in relief, relax completely, and regain our strength.

That haven might be a home, a nest, or anywhere we feel welcome.

Solace may come from the grin our besties give us when they know our knees are knocking.

A bit of courage might be found by recalling a pep talk from a beloved mentor.

Reassurance could be given by a cherished talisman, such as a locket with a special someone’s photo.

I hope you have a memory, a place, a friend, or a keepsake that always provides a power boost.

You may be that special one for another soul.
