Hi Everyone,
Well, I'm coming home from the ranch tomorrow, Saturday...see photos below. It's been three weeks of recovering and healing down here, and as you can see it is a great place to do that. I'm going to start shooting jobs back at the studio next week which is a big change. Just small jobs and projects I can do on my own terms right now, but it's a start. I still can't drive, so WhistleStop vans will be running me around.
It's really amazing how much better I am after the past month or so. I'm swimming, doing Tai Chi again, walking better and staying awake longer during the day. I'm amazed that my body can be doing as much as it is after only 6 months. There are still plenty of challenges, but I am truly feeling better. I'm sure only those that don't know I was in an accident could even tell there is anything wrong with me. Most of you know there was always something wrong with me!!
Actually, all your support has been so healing for me. I feel really blessed every day. I have been reading a lot about the mind, and healing, and meditation, and mindfulness. I can see how they are all tools for me to use in recovering from this accident. It's interesting though how it seems that not any one thing in itself makes you whole. I could go off meditating for years, and never have to deal with my emotions, my relationships, and all the issues and challenges related to them. Yet, slowing down enough to meditate, or do Tai Chi, or other 'slow' things seems so easy now.
Maybe as I start working that will change, but I hope not. I really love not rushing around, worrying about every thing, fearing disaster around every next corner coming up. I can see how most everything can wait, or isn't all that important anyway. I'm not referring to responsibilities, obviously! But the stuff that comes up moment by moment in our minds. Most of it can just keep going right out the other end if we let it. I know....easy for me to say!!
Hope your summer is going well. Please keep int touch.
Best,
Mark
