Restlessness

Part Four in the Root Chakra

There is one place in this whole world that I always wake up feeling rested and restored. No other place can compare, or even stand a chance.

This place is in my Gram’s house. Each time I visit her, for some reason it feels like I can really hang my coat up on all of life’s stress and finally rest.
