Back from 3 weeks of vacation, with lots of spectacular nature moments: a break I totally needed. Experiencing such dramatic scenery is so refreshing. Centering. Humbling. Back safely in my apartment, in this major metropolitan area, I was chatting with a friend about the experience. As I gushed on and on about how much I love the West, I joked that it was time to return East, where nature isn't so breathtaking, and it's easier to feel important. "We have history," he wryly replied, "and tall buildings, to make you feel meaningless." As I strolled through The Yard on my way to a meeting yesterday morning, these words came back to me. So true.
Repurposing my 15 year old blog, just like we're repurposing that odd pantry ingredient.
