Afternoon wander: Mon petite Norwegian island

Today I miss my island, the solitude I find there, the home, the familiar and the safe.

I miss it at the same time as I’m happy to be where I’m at.

I think we can have these two contradicting feelings of longing for and being content in us at once.

I miss how the mild wind feels on my skin.

The way, the ocean smells in the fall.

The moss that covers every exposed rock like a blanket of love.

I yearn for the familiar and safe.

I long for it all, yet I smile when I gaze out the window knowing it’s all inside, that home is somewhere inside, a place I can find and feel no matter where I am in this world.

For spontaneous Afternoon wanders around the world, follow me on Instagram.

From time to time I’ll put some of them up here on the blog.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day wherever in the world you are, and that you can find that home within, that no matter where we are or what we long for. That we can feel whole and at home with ourselves.
