A few years ago I was walking through the Southern French town of Bormes les Mimosas and I noticed this little area just outside of a house at the end of a small pathway. It just appealed to me. As I look at it again today, I find it still appeals to me! It’s very simple. There is a small table with two chairs, a pot plant on the table and an old two seat bench just in front of it. The pale blue shutters of a window and a door are standing open and there’s an attractive, irregular, rock wall at the end of the passage. The whole scene is framed by plants giving the area a feeling of nook, hidden away in Nature.
What’s important to me here is the feeling that this scene induces….not the details really. I’m sure every one of us will find particular details appealing and others not so much. But I bet we all have favourite “sweet spots” – particular places we find comfortable, where we can feel content, happy and secure.
I think we all need such sweet spots in our lives.
Where are yours?
Or, if you were to create one, can you describe what it would look like?
