The comfort Zone

Feeling hemmed in? want a new adventure? It just takes one step

The comfort zone

it’s what we know

it’s a source of safety

even when it’s not safe

it’s restricting and confining

even quite defining

it’s the script we are familiar with

but….

it becomes waring, it becomes mundane

it becomes stagnant and like still water can be dangerous

and the dreamer will only ever dream

if they do not take the first step and leave ‘the comfort zone’

Oblivious

Sleep alludes me, though I am so very tired. The sun cracks through the opened window, early in the mornings, and the dawn chorus awakens me. Such a contrast to the labouring snores blasting my ears as he sleeps beside me, deep in his slumber, oblivious to raucous he makes or the sound of the dogs barking from across the garden.

My mind wanders to our new house, wondering how soon before we get the keys. The start to our new life. How shall I dress this one to make it a home? Which colours and fabrics and oddments shall I use.
A blank canvas screaming for life and colour.

As I lay awake, I try to escape the noise and get lost deep in the kaleidoscope of my imagination until finally, sleep will surrender itself to me and I too will be oblivious….
