So so true, Brooke, about the writing life. Thank you for this beauty!
-- "...at times when you’re writing, you feel you’re under water and treading to stay afloat. But then the water recedes, the overwhelming sense that you may be failing retreats, too, and suddenly, you can see the floor again."
What?!?!?! That's crazy. Did you go all three nights? I could have walked right by you. I haven't been in a crowd like that in YEARS. It was very overwhelming! But the concert on Saturday was amazing. Did you get to see Jack Johnson??
The one I did was in Austria, Gasteiner Tal. We (a small group) walked into the forest for about half an hour, all in silence. No phone. ☺️ Then we formed a circle and did about 5 minutes of deep breathing before choosing a spot to sit. Then you just sit and take in your surroundings. It's a form of meditation. One doesn't have to go with a group. It's okay to do it alone (if you're comfortable) or with a friend. Very relaxing! ~ They also do something like rain bathing. Haha, I didn't try that one. It sounded too cold and wet for me.

Aw, thank you, Marlena!!!
Brooke, I was at Oceans Calling last weekend too! I can't believe we were in the same crowd! So sorry about your poor house.

I went on Friday and Saturday. I DID get to see Jack Johnson! He was wonderful. :)
Sorry to hear about the flooding! I’m glad you guys managed to salvage some of the weekend.
Thank you! I heard you guys did, too!
I walk in silence a lot. It's very relaxing. ~ In Austria, I did a forest bath. 🤗🤗
It is relaxing. The forest bath sounds amazing. What did that entail exactly? So curious.
