The rock in my backyard, next to the birch tree

 

I have a rock I like to hide under when I’m feeling overwhelmed. It’s in my backyard, next to the birch tree. For instance this morning I woke up, thought about all the things I needed to do, and said, “Nope.” I got out of bed, went out to the rock, lifted it and got underneath. I felt peaceful again and had a nice conversation with a worm. We talked about how when there’s no light, things are much simpler.
