I sure do love that tea, milk and honey myself and really good books to take you away to another place.
I guess that "Third Place" is like a little trap door that opens and let's us through for a tranquil mini escape.
I love the sea shore -- haven't been able to go in 5 years now -- but I can always conjure up walking the beach just as the sun is rising.......toes in the seafoam.......where ocean meets the sand. It is so wonderful to touch with your toes and whole being that mystical space. Not until about a year ago did I learn that the Irish held that place of seafoam - where ocean world meets the shore --where the two worlds collide -- as their most mystical realm. I believe our ancestors reach us across the divide and show us their magical places -- if we are quiet enough to truly listen. Now tell me that our Irish Heritage is not passed down in the DNA!!! We have never been to the Erin Isle - we never heard those tales when we were young. When I need a third place I conjure up the smells of the ocean, the seafoam green and the fairies that dance between your toes................
