Valley

There have been times when explaining my situation to people, I refer to this period of my life as a valley. And in terms of moving home, having a child, not working, to some it would seem as if it is a low point, at times to me it seems like I am doing nothing (which couldn't be further from the truth), but this world would have you believe that if you are not earning money, or becoming "something" then you are wasting your time. Then something clicked, the valley is where there is nourishment. I looked at pictures, and there is usually a river, so there is a source of life, replenishing, renewing. The valley is a place of protection from the harsh elements, the top of the mountain is a rough journey, the air is then, the journey to get to the top is a difficult one, and at times a lonely one, and it's cold. The view is nice, but what else is there, but a view.
