Pillars of Support

I really needed to talk to a friend today and she said she was happy she could be a pillar of support for me. What a wonderful image - pillars of support.

I first envisioned a table, and how having many legs of support would help it stand if one leg was compromised. Then I envisioned a Greek temple like the Parthenon with numerous pillars creating a magnificent structure - solid, stable, creating protection and a container for life.

It got me thinking about pillars of support in my life, the people, practices, and places that help support me. The way I structure my day, my weekly rhythms to have breaks and elements that support and nourish me. I also became interested in how I can show up more solidly for the people in my life.
