LIFE IS LIKE AN INNER COURTYARD

Visible from the street. Has a solid laneway to get there. Protected often by a gate or security guard. Enjoyed by the people who live there. Our brains and souls are like inner courtyards. Sharing as much as we care! Protecting with our own built in " security guards". Our thoughts can be controlled and contained. Since no one is a mind reader, we are safe! Keeping happy images and memories sustain us. Keeping out the negativity and stress of past events! Learning not to tell everything we are thinking! Having a pretty laneway with as many flowers or bricks or windows!

THE LANEWAY

A laneway from the street to a back parking lot or yard connects us from the street to hidden worlds.

Some views are more picturesque than others!

Close to the street but able to escape to that private world is the need of many urban dwellers! The gate lets us look but we can not enter! The inner courtyard looks pleasant with some greenery and room to be away from the crowd!
