Spring Bench Chats 2023
Spring is in sight... and, after another cold and grey winter, many of us are missing the warmth — the warmth of connecting with each other. So, imagine, if you will....
You are walking through a beautiful forest. Spring has brought tiny green leaves to the trees and the crocuses and tulips splash colour through the underbrush after such a dark and monotone winter. You come upon a familiar bench; a cozy blanket, some throw pillows, and hot chocolate are set out for two. You look around and see somebody walking towards you.
Maybe it’s a loved one who has died... Maybe it’s your favourite actor or actress. Perhaps it’s the teacher whose empathy and instruction greatly impacted your life’s journey. Maybe there is someone newer to this life that you would call to join you at the bench so that they can meet that cherished loved one from an earlier generation. There are no limits as to who you might imagine joining you on your magical spring bench.
You have been given the gift of one hour to sit and chat with the person walking towards you.
Who would you choose to share your bench? What would you talk about? How would it make you feel?
