Safe Place
Photo taken by first-time contributor Jo, a 63-year-old Native woman from Arizona who has been struggling most of her life with depression, PTSD and dissociation. Jo still struggles daily, but she is now on a path towards healing. Photography of nature is part of her self-care and healing process.
About this photo: “This photo is of my ‘Safe Place’ taken just a few weeks ago. This is where I go when life becomes a struggle. Here, I am safe, nothing can touch me, no one can hurt me.”

What an amazing photo. It’s never too late, and worth the maturity you have, I hope you will continue to find places and ways to feel secure. Nature is always there, can always inspire us, if we just really look, and obviously you do.
