The Room Awaits

There is a room that waits. A simple chair rests in the corner, a larger chair near the center. A table holds a bouquet. The door is closed, and light gathers across the walls, tracing distant horizons in the paintings.

Everything is in place. Nothing presses. The room gives time — time to stand by the window, to look outward, to wonder what any of this is about. Light enters freely. The closed door lets thought stay, stretch, and unfold.

Even in stillness, there is a pull toward what may arrive. The room becomes a pause, a place where attention settles. The room holds our reflection of our own time, our own choices, and the weight of what is possible.

We carry that room within us. We carry beauty. We carry waiting. Power and humility sit side by side. When thought has traveled far enough, movement follows. The door remains closed until someone steps forward, until a choice is made, until we go forth.

    Corey,
    I want to go sit at that room and watch the light play across the walls and floor. Stand by the window and watch the world go by. And, if I can’t do that, I want that painting. It looks huge!!

    I love this. The image of the room we carry inside us is powerful. My room within is at the bottom of stairs that lead me down to a door. When I open the door I am in a quiet meadow with a babbling brook. A bench sits on the bank under the branches of an ancient oak tree. This is my center. The place that holds God’s light within. Always present. Always available. The knowing of this place sustains me.

  5. Such a sweet story, Corey! Love the painting, too.
