To wake alive, in this world
What happiness.
-Shoha
I have returned home after a quiet retreat to an isolated island 13 miles off the coast, away from the temptations of cell phones, computers, social media, emails, and the constant influx of digital information. I now find myself back to the “real world.” How will I adjust again to the pressures of work, relationships, and society? I long to be back among the wind and the clouds and the bluffs. I will find my peace within the sounds of the traffic outside my window, the hectic comings and goings of the world around me. I will hold onto the slow, quiet life on the island, and keep its lessons within my heart.
