Solitude

In a place of calm

Refreshes

Ritu 2016

Haiku in traditional 3/5/3 format

This is where I truly find solitude, in a good way, back home at my parents. This is the view from my bedroom when I go home. I can look out there, and feel alone, in a good way, knowing the kids are being looked after, and usually Hubby Dearest hasn’t come with us, so this room, that view, is my haven, my place of r & r…

And these are the times that solitude truly refreshes the soul!

Of course, I don’t get much time alone, I spend most of it with my parents, but when I do get that time, I cherish it!

It’s Hugh’s weekly photo challenge. Check out the prompt here.
(Funny story alert. .. I’m trying to post this at my parents home and their WiFi filter deems Hugh’s blog as far too risqué! So I’m having to do this via my mobile so I can get all the links up, then edit via my Surface!

The prompt word?

GAP

Want to join the fun? Here’s what you need to do.

1. Take or choose a photo that you’ve taken which shows a gap in it.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 19 – “Gap”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.

So here’s mine, taken at Conkers Nature Park last summer, when Lil Princess was very nervously completing a rope adventure course… she was finally at the end and this great big gap appeared in the wooden slats! There were tears, and possible tantrums, had she not been too worried of falling through the slats, but she got there in the end!

Leap Of Faith

Nearly there

Just one more big step…

Mind the gap!!!

My offering…

Serenity is

Found in the peace of His home

A calmness of mind

Ritu 2016

Read as

Serenity is found on the peace of His home;

Found in the peace of His home, a calmness of mind

I always find that a sense of calm waves over me whenever I see our local Gurdwara. We are lucky, we live literally a stone’s throw away, and I see this magnificent building every day.

It’s a great start to a day, and a wonderful way to finish one too!

The rainbow that day was just an added sense of calm that complemented the whole scene that morning.
