When Zinnia is in the barnyard, Kim is on alert. Zinnia would never hurt Kim, but she loves to chase her. Not for long, just enough to get Kim to run. To Zinnia it’s a game.
Kim will often stay in the barn or find shelter among the other sheep.
In the picture above, Kim is sandwiched between Merricat and Constance. Both pay no attention to Zinnia at all. In this way, they become Kim’s safe place.
Beautiful woolly teamwork!

Ah, a safe place. How often, I wonder, have I felt like I was in my safe place. And do I even know where that is in this present time of my life?
You have given me an image and an idea to ponder.
Like Kim, I seek safety with others around myself. But perhaps I’m not actually unsafe at all.
Oh LoisJean, you took this further than I did. Good thinking…you’ve got me thinking now.
