In the throes of the pandemic I felt compelled to seek sanctuary in whatever form I was able. A phone call with a loved one, a movie and my favourite food, a quiet bath. These were all ways I could go within and cultivate a sense of peace and safety. I realized that the idea of sanctuary came not only from an action or ritual but from my own connection to simply being. By carving out space within my life to slow down and by stepping back to be truly in the moment, I could see the world but also remain detached from it. Tune out the chaos and remain still.
