Do you ever feel like life is a dark abyss, just threatening to swallow you whole? An overpowering emptiness that thrives on snuffing any hope or joy? I know we all go through valleys, that Jesus walks with us and that He'll help us to climb out...but most often my human nature revels in the gloominess for a little while. Is it just me? I think sometimes it takes too much energy to fight the darkness, so I succumb until I feel ready to make the effort. I need to retreat somewhere quiet to soothe my spirit...to feign strength and bravery. To feed my soul with music and literature until I regain my composure and feel calm enough to go on.
Sometimes it just helps to think "out loud" when sorting through the rabbit trails of the human psyche!
What feeds and soothes your soul? Where do you find peace from the busyness of the world?
