Four days home and I am still struggling to climb back on top of the old beast of burden, namely the things I’m obliged to do out of responsibility and survival. After the first two-week vacation in twenty years, I remain relaxed and somewhat more absent-minded than usual.
The perfect vacations are the ones without specifics, timetables, or the necessity of meeting someone’s expectations. This sojourn was a gem. Myself and my companion. Sitting, reading, walking on the beach or in the pine forest, sipping wine while painting on the porch, lying in bed with the cool lake breezes cradling the room.
Leisure time is time to reflect, zone out, sleep, dream, ponder or not. It is a time to re-experience innocence within the broad parameters of nature and the human visitation.
Thank you life.
But oh so hard to get back to the norm.
