Terpene Therapy

This week I took Sheba to one of my favorite tiny corners of the city: the trails between Bowman Field and Seneca Park/Golf Course. I've always enjoyed this small area that often gets overlooked in favor of the larger trail systems near by! It provides a unique view of the airport and you can sit there and watch planes take off all day if you wanted to! During this episode I reflect on my past week as well as a nice memory I had with my dad while growing up; it was his birthday on October 20th. It's always a weird time of year for me, but weird doesn't always mean bad!

Today I decided to take Sheba for a walk at Calvary Cemetery to reflect on the past weekend, which was eventful to say the least! I had the opportunity to take my Mom's ashes back to her hometown of Princeton, IN for a memorial service for both her and my Uncle Rob. It was a good ceremony and I ended up closing a couple of spiritual loops that needed to be closed; in the proper way of course. I ended the night with a big bowl of alphabet soup and enjoyed some live music from Lady Laveaux, AHC, and Mistr Fractal. Balancing out the heaviness of life with some high quality wiggly air does wonders for your health, spirit, and mindset!

This week Sheba and I went to go explore Eva Boardman Park, one of the more underrated locations in my local area! It's a bit of a shorter episode this week since I am having to make arrangements for my Uncle's funeral, but you know I had to capture some consciousness anyway! I picked this location because it is a place of only good memories for me and it's one of those locations where I can effectively reflect on past events, plan for the future, and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the area if I time it right! I hope that y'all are having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to watch/listen to this episode!

Today I decided to explore a new trail at Iroquois Park that I had never been on before! Sometimes you have to take a chance on something new in this life, and so walking the new path is a great metaphor for the topic of the episode. I share some ideas on living within the balance between universal chaos and the synchronistic mindset. Walking the line between the two seems to be important in regards to staying within the flow of positive energy. I hope that you're having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this episode!

Today is a calmer day on the seas of life over here for me, so I decided to take sheba to one of my favorite locations in Cherokee park: The Chauffeurs Rest! This is a very special part of this park for me, as it is home to the tree of wisdom, which has been featured in a couple of previous Terpene Therapy episodes! I like to come here whenever it is time to reflect on pivotal moments of life and I usually come away with a semblance of an idea on how to move forward in a happy and healthy way! I hope you are having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this!

Today's hike is located at Caperton Swamp aka Old Gregg's Lair. I always like to come here to reflect on life whenever things get very heavy, as they have been for the past week. Luckily over the years I've learned to navigate rough seas and this section of my life will play out as it does; just as every other section has. I wish the best for my friend, psychosis is no joke and it can take a long time to come back from. I have experienced it myself when I lived in an unhealthy and misaligned way, and I stillave detrimental effects from it 12 years down the line. I am grateful for nature being a grounding environment to think in, and there was also a cool wildlife sighting! I hope you have a good day whenever and wherever you happen to listen to this, and check on your homies. It's a tough, yet beautiful world out there.

This week has been a bit of a rough one, I had to help a good friend of mine through a psychotic break with reality after a relapse and now my brain feels burnt out. These types of situations reactivate some of the more severe PTSD responses that I normally can ground myself from but haven't been able to do as successfully this past week. But thankfully I have the group ride and the ability to go for hikes still, and that does help me cope with extremely stressful situations in a healthy way. I hope you're having a good day whenever and wherever you happen to watch this episode!

Today's hike ended up turning into me talking about the lore of Sheba's existence. She's such a good girl and I realized I had never really talked about her in detail! It was fun to go down memory lane and think about some memories with her that I normally don't even think about! It was incredibly hot today (103ºF) so we didn't record as long as we normally do!

This week I decided to experiment with another biking episode while on the way home from another group ride! This one was special though, we rode out to a community center out in the west end of Louisville to help clean out some stuff that was taking up space that can be better utilized once cleared out! Giving back to the community in a positive way is a beautiful thing! I also had an opportunity to experience the new Billy Strings record at the new guestroom records location! Overall it was a very solid day!

This week Sheba and I hiked the Jim King trail! She's been loving the relatively cooler weather recently and has been acting extra hyped to be outside! She's also been trying to eat groundscores and I have to be extra attentive so she doesn't eat anything that could be bad for her. I also reflect on the past weekend's 40 mile bike ride with the group that I've been riding with the past few weeks! It's great to have a like minded community for biking, I've spent most of my life on the bike by myself! It's a good change of pace!
