Day:
ISLAND.
Nourishing
Asylum
I had a mainland day which was offbeat; focus here is achieved in-part through the isolation aspect. But I needed to go to the office. I had lunch plans with a friend. I wanted to run with my group because on Wednesdays we do difficult workouts that are always easier alongside others. It rained all evening and I had to taxi to the ferry because I’m still not attuned to its schedule. I packed a lot of belongings to bring back with me which was a stress all to itself.
The second I arrived on the island I was enraptured by the unusual weather. The air is always warmer and more humid but tonight it was also inviting. The lake’s waves were so high that they were crashing over the breakers almost as if a high tide was occurring. I could hear nothing except for thick, uniform wind. The boughs of every tree were nimble and swayed under the influence of it all; the island was alive. I couldn’t wait to encourage everyone at the studio to step out and experience it for themselves. But of course, I didn’t have to. Everyone already knew. And within ten minutes, R and I were submerged in the massive whitecaps (which photograph terribly!)
