Be Where Your Clothes Are
my friend Tim used to describe going away for a weekend retreat thusly:
when we move to a new environment, even if it's only for a few days, it takes some time to acclimate, to feel like we've "arrived."
when it's time to leave, sometimes we psychologically prepare ourselves to do so ahead of time, often during the packing process.
trouble is, during a short weekend, it's entirely possible that your soul doesn't arrive until after you've "left," psychologically.
i miss him.
that's how i am with school. i'm already psychologically preparing, making mental notes of what to bring and what must be done beforehand. i like it that way because it helps me be quite organized, but it also detracts from the present.
