Solitude

Thoughts from a year ago:

Solitude: Apr 14, 2019


What would you want to do with all your time? 


Sit, read, meditate, look at the lake, not do yardwork or housework.  Go for walks and yoga.


You can say I’m a very low energy person, but my energy matches nature.  It matches the ebb and flow of the season, the growth and the dormancy.  I relish that.


I relish looking at nature and feeling connected and knowing there’s a greater reason, purpose, and connection to it all.  I appreciate being able to feel that connection - not everyone can.  A slow life and a reflective life allows me to feel that so deeply and that’s what erp gives meaning to my life.


Crazy.... it’s not the kids, the subs, the friends, they’re all fine and dandy and they do liven it up a bit, but really when I want my soul to be a peace and reassurance that none of it’s a waste, it all means something, and it’s going somewhere, I go to nature.  And I go alone


I go to Waldon Pond.  I sat on Waldon Pond (with “On Waldon Pond”!) and reflected.  That may be what I feel the most of on my lake.  The same lake that’s fed people body and mind for millennia feeds me.  I’m blessed to be able to live here, I blessed to have the finances to live the life I want to live, so I need to live the life that matters most to me.


Sober, reflective, meditative, worthy, trusting that my path is my way.


People are good entertainment, but so few actually add value.  It’s far better to live a life that rings true to the heart.
