When your mind feels like a storm, when thoughts whirl endlessly and you find yourself staring into the distance for hours, watching clouds drift by…
Your mind palace, a place no one else seems to enter, has become a fortress.
You observe the world from your high tower — safe, but never fully here.
“A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time”
― Homer, The Odyssey
Come back to the ground.
Feel the earth beneath you.
Sense how your mind begins to touch your body again.
The planet you rest upon moves quietly through the universe, and you are part of that movement.
From the soles of your feet to the crown of your head, feel the thread that runs through you.
Let the fresh wind sweep through your mind palace — cleansing, soft, alive.
You are okay. You are not broken. You are not alone.
Watch your thoughts like clouds.
They come. They shift. They move on.

song: Odysseus – Snowdrops
We have forgotten how to ground ourselves — something we naturally did as children, simply lying flat on the earth.
for every year a stone laid out on the table…until I come home.
