Here is something to consider: plan to take two days off where YOU get away from it all this summer. Where you do nothing but wander in nature, walk trails, think thoughts, and only speak with the occasional stranger. In the past, people did this all the time. They just fucking left and came back after they found what they were looking for. Aboriginal adolescents used to live in the wilderness for six months, and they called it a “walkabout.” The Native Americans called this action a “vision quest,” where they would fast for four days and four nights alone. In modern times, in Western culture, we call it a “retreat.” This time can be used to study, pray, meditate, be mindful, etc. Just you, your thoughts, and your presence are all that is needed.
