'Querencia' --- Tea Day

Happy Tea Tuesday!

The past few mornings,
I have sat out by the garden,
drinking tea and reading.


A friend of mine recently let me borrow a book
by an author I had not heard of....Steven Bodio.
The book is called
 'Querencia'.

The word 'querencia',
 I have learned,
is hard to translate.
It is a place....
it is a feeling....
all in one.
Mainly it is where you feel safe and good.
Animals have querencia,
and so do we.

Click here...
to read a very good description of the word
and to find and describe your own querencia.

To me it is a metaphysical concept
of wanting to feel safe in something,
whether it be a physical place,
or something you do,
like writing, art, etc.
Where do you find your
querencia?
Is it in people, places,
or something else?

You can find your Querencia if you...

Savor the Day!
