Find your flat place

For Kristen


Find your flat place. Everyone needs somewhere where the ground is flat beneath you. And it's not always home. For some people home is the least flat place you can be.


A flat place is somewhere where there are no slopes, no hills, no twists or turns. Somewhere where you can be stable and grounded and don't have to worry. You won't slide away, or have to climb uphill. The ground doesn't shift beneath your feet and make you stumble. 

Find somewhere where you can find your balance and catch your breath. Then, once you feel yourself again, move on and take on the world around you.


Find a flat place, and return there at need.
