Staying Home

As many of you know, I used to travel quite frequently. I have close family members who live a flight away, and I also lead international spiritual journeys. My favorite journey is down the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I talk and write incessantly about the joys and lessons of pilgrimage, and this illness has been another pilgrimage for me.

During this time of work and recuperation, I have been been enjoying the simple beauty of being home. I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful state of Connecticut. I have watched seasons change. I have been able to actually notice the earth getting darker at the winter solstice and now falling light as we approach the spring. The forest floor is amazingly beautiful - really every where you look. The changing weather is absolutely miraculous!

I would not wish this on anyone, but I hope that this blog inspires you to step outside in nature, wherever you are, and spend some silent time alone.
