"Get busy living, or get busy dying." The Shawshank Redemption (6 days ago)

Inside Of Me

Sometimes I find the words of others to be so powerful, so magical, that I stutter and stumble over my own words as I struggle to share the moment with you.

This is one of those times, so my thoughts will be brief.

I thought the poem was about winter. For you, it may very well be.

As I begin to listen though, an incredible sense of calm came over me, even as the tears gently rolled down my face. It didn’t take long for me to realize that the author was describing a place, a moment that many of us experience. For me, it explains the quiet place inside of me that I escape to from the world now and then.

What does this poem mean to you?

    Can’t think of a better meaning for it, Cricket. That’s exactly what I was thinking too!

      I don’t even like cold weather, but the poem made me crave spending a snowy night in front of a warm fire….
