My body is by no means whatsoever used to this wet, muggy and kinda chilly weather and it is stubbornly refusing to make any effort to acclimate. But who better to be surrounded by than a bunch of physicians, herbalists and medical students with the keen ability heal you up quick. Based on all of this, I was forced to remain home this morning for a little extra rest (strong recommendation by my roommies) and some reflection. So as I am relaxing on the porch with my Pandora jamming in the background (THX Megs!) I thought of the statement that was on the Bon Voyage card my momma gave me upon my departure to NC.
“I go nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put into order” John Burroughs
What a weighty statement, and a great one. Even though I am technically not well physiologically speaking, my mind has not witnessed such clarity and peacefulness in a long time. This was a much needed vacay to bring me back to what is important in my life and to what is authentic.
