I love this bench.  

It is worn and chipped away by the elements

and by use (and abuse).  

It has witnessed both

pristine calm

and the ravages of storms.  

Yet it sits here.

Sturdy and strong.  

Embodying the beauty

in this beautiful location.  

Beauty.  

Beholder.

❤ 

May I take heart in the strength of this bench.  In the strength of benches like her.  May I ever choose to Stay in dignity, instead of crumbling into the Void of denial.  

Shalom, Namaste & Blessed Be.
