Life Recipe #6: A Micro-Sanctuary in the Midst of Chaos
A place where you can breathe, read a page, or simply sit.
– 1 min read
Life can feel overwhelming—noise, clutter, obligations pressing in from all sides. But even in the midst of chaos, the soul needs a place to rest. A full retreat may not be possible, yet a micro-sanctuary can always be created.
It could be as simple as a corner with one chair, one plant, and one book. Or a cushion by the window, a candle on a shelf. The key is that it is yours: a place where you can breathe, read a page, or simply sit.
Such small sanctuaries are not luxuries. They are lifelines. They tell the soul: you are allowed to be. They restore dignity, remind the “I” of its uprightness, and offer an island of order from which life can be faced again.
✨ Try it today: Clear one corner, place one chair, add one living thing (a plant, a flower, a candle). Let it be your micro-sanctuary, your anchor in the storm.
