I arrived back home yesterday.
Considering all the travel I did, I feel pretty good. I was in bed last night at 9pm EST and woke up this morning at 3am. Not too bad.
I practiced this morning, which felt really nice. My body was aching for some physical exercise. I'm surprised how open my body was after so much travel actually. I was able to get into everything normally and aside from my practice being on the fast side had no real struggles.
Now though I'm feeling the jet-lag, I have speedy brain and can't seem to keep a complete thought in my mind. I'm tossing around ideas about how to make enough money to get back out into the world. The other side of the world. With every moment my destination and agenda for travel changes. Sometimes I think I want to go back to Thailand to teach then I think I want to go to India again, (although my feelings about India are definitely different after having been to Thailand) sometimes I want to go for yoga other times for the destination itself. All these things will work out in time, I understand that. No sense in rushing around in my mind when I have plenty of time to sort out all these decisions.
I heard from one of my friends still in Asia who asked if I felt strange here, "like I belong somewhere else" and that about sums up how I'm feeling. I mean, it's home so there are familiar things that are nice to have but it's so cold and desolate feeling here--people are guarded, not unfriendly just a little rough around the edges--I feel out of place.
As my mind settles down some and I re-acclimate to the USA I'm sure I'll have some insights about my travel. I'll share them here when appropriate and I PROMISE I'll post pictures soon too.
