The Low Place, Man O War Cay, Bahamas.
Why “The Low Place” ?
The Low Place is an actual place! It is located in Man O’ War Cay in the Greater Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. This space holds so much weight in my story and when I allowed myself to get curious about what I wanted to call this platform, this place came right into my awareness!
The Low Place is physically the lowest point on the Island. It is where everyone goes to play. It is a place of connection both with the inhabitants of the island and the inhabitants of the sea.
This Island and this place is home to my wife and her family. The way life is lived here is not like anything I ever knew existed. I learned to paddle board here. I took my son’s high school senior portraits here. My baby girl did her first open water swim here. I wrestled with co parenting on this very beach.
Our stories have literal and figurative low places. Curiosity has allowed me to see the value and good that has come from this Low Place and my prayer is that you can find value in yours as well.
Love,
Rebecca
