I’ve been in a bit of a funk these first couple days back home. It’s really just a more acute form of a malaise I’ve been struggling with for quite a while. I would say it’s both banal and universal, a “what exactly am I doing with my life?” sort of thing. I’m feeling off balance. I’ve made a lot of transitions these last couple years, and I haven’t taken the time to slow down and figure out where I really am personally and spiritually.

So I’m putting my inner house in order. I’m going off by myself to stay at the Sacred Groves Moonlodge for the weekend. I’m taking my journal, my yoga mat, some smudge sticks, and a lot of tea. I hope to be much more centered and focused when I return Sunday.

After that I intend to stay close to home for the next month or two – with the vital exception of my planned visit to Virginia October 12-21. Here’s hoping the leaves are in full turn by then. I need my autumnal fix!
