The image above is called Shelter, and it is probably my second favorite to the tree image. I found myself often taking shelter from the world in the pages of a book. To this day, I still find shelter within the pages of books (well, books unrelated to work!) as it is so comforting to get lost in a world where you know everything is already taken care of, and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.
There is something safe about taking shelter in a book, about how it protects my mind from my own intrusive thoughts, at least while I'm within the pages of the story. Something about how my world is calmer, as I'm lost in the story, instead of lost in my real, somewhat frightening world. One can take the literal term for shelter from this image, but one can also take that figurative route, and be distracted by the comfort and security within another's words, instead of the tragic and traumatic words of our on minds......
