This is my Box by Kate Quinn, (c) 2005 My own place no one can find It took me years To fix it all up No it's not a prison I can come and go But this is my place Where nobody knows Silence me here Wash me with water Bathe me with fire So I can grow young again This is my Box I hold in my heart And when I die It will fade away.... "Even when you're down and blue, just remember that someone out there loves you, even if you don't know it and even if you haven't yet met them. There's someone out there waiting for you, remember that and keep faith. You'll get there." ~~Johnny Depp. | ||

Is this about your place/house? Like, this is my box where I can unapologetically be me? There's no place like home?
This part gives me a feeling that because of the comfort and ability to be who you are there, it is also where the most growth and transformation occurs. Like it's your cacoon! That makes you the butterfly! "Silence me here" gives me the impression of being in a place where you are not in reaction to the rest of the world, but instead are more just you in action and choice. I bet it would be cute if you framed this and put it up in your place somewhere! Nice work, Kate!  | |||

Thanks, Chiana! Actually the Box is kind of an inner House, if you will, inside my soul, a place i go where no one can see. But my house is also a reflection of me, a safe haven. So i guess it could be both. yeah you're right about the silence me here...i so don't need to react to the world when i'm in my quiet place. I think we all need that. Anyway thanks for the reply!

Thanks guys. In times of stress especially, that is the best place to be!"Even when you're down and blue, just remember that someone out there loves you, even if you don't know it and even if you haven't yet met them.

I like this one Kate. My "box" is a library, filled with books of my memories and dreams and hopes. It's got huge, comfy chairs, good lighting and tons of quiet. It sounds like your 'box' is much the same, a place to rejuvenate and rest. Always a good thing to have, as you've said. I like how you made this idea come to life. I always figured I was a bit off for having a 'library' in my head to retreat to. I'm a nerd that way.  But it's nice knowing others have it too.Keep up the lovely work. ____________________________  I <3 4 foot 11, blonde, operatic wonders from Oklahoma.

Thanks, Sara! Yeah you're pretty dead on. My box these days is just a quiet place in my head where there's no noise, not even any internet stuff. It's just quiet, and no one lives there but me and John, the only other one i'll let in. I know you know what that's like.Anyway take care, email or pm me sometime...I miss talking to you!
