This came on a really good day for me because I'm camping (day three). It's that day when you realize everything is harder than it is at home, and you lose sight of the lovely kayak rides past the water lilies followed by the morning swims in the mornings that makes it all worth it.

Beautiful thoughts. Only those who have tasted the inner freedom and joy can understand this. When we understand this, external achievements and activities starts to lose its luster. Sitting in solitude and silence, or reading a poem or an illuminating essay brings the joy that only your body can feel, you can’t intellectualize it.

How does this not have more engagement? It's so beautifully written and so uplifting.

Comfort seeking does kill the soul, I have come to learn from years of being too comfortable. Who knew trying to escape a comfortable life would be so difficult... sigh.

I love how this post meanders through your thoughts. I was once told that life is about being content. Joy will come when you peak above that level but also be happy with content.
