Everyone needs a refuge. 

Maybe it's a place, or a person, or at the bottom of a cup of tea or an iTunes playlist. 

Mine is this hill, right near home, under this particular tree with a prayer. And also this particular shoulder, which I've been leaning on heavily this week.

Do you have one? 

I'd offer to lend you mine if you needed them, but everyone's shelter-from-the-world is different. (And I'm afraid that shoulder is all mine. The prayer and the tree, they're yours if you need them.)

I hope you have solace in handy form.

Chocolate counts, too, right?
