Thinking, Naturally

While digging through my archive today, I found this piece, which I’d written one year ago, to the day. Time is shifting sand in the ceaseless sea. This morning I woke up unsure of where I was. This has been happening a lot lately. As I fall asleep, I lose track of my location in time and place—as in, where in my life I am—vaguely attempting to situate myself in a day of the week, or month, and in which of the so many beds I’ve slept in lately, in a variety of countries.

I’m continuing this style of journal pulls and curious how it lands without my added commentary between entries (meaning: feedback, please!). I’ve got quite a lot of writing in the works right now, all of which is coming straight out of my journals. The difference between these entries and JFTJ is that they capture the true beginning of the story, which began years before I moved to Costa Rica; and, they’re more explicit. The messy details, the struggle, the confessions—they’re necessary.

Raw reflections on nature, adventure, freedom, and the unraveling of old beliefs in pursuit of a more embodied, autonomous life. Am I addicted to journaling? I am writing so much—more than ever.

I use this one every single day, and have recommended it to countless clients over the years. This is an herb for the ages, and it’s been used for ages. It’s best used as a daily, foundational herb rather than a targeted, short-term remedy.

It’s finally raining in the jungle.

The rain returned today, albeit lightly. While it’s technically rainy season now, we’ve had summer sun for some weeks straight. El Veranillo, it’s called—the little summer. When it rains here, everyone is pressed apart or together—held in place by the downfall, the condition of the roads, and whether or not the power is out. Those with “rainy season lovers” cuddle; the single ones either sign off or take their chances with a DM; the families cook and play games.
