Hello, blog world. Long time no post. I know. I knew that was going to happen. I knew camp this summer would disconnect me from pretty much everything; I needed it to. Camp is over now and I'm beset with the task of incorporating myself back into the everyday life and routines of home. I can't say I'm a completely different person than when I left, but I can't say I'm exactly the same. I thought somehow getting away from everything both physically and otherwise would somehow allow me to find the peace of mind I need to face life without fear. In a way it did that. Not in the way I had hoped or expected, but hopes and expectations often interfere with the fruits of reality, as it is. I didn't write for myself but one time, and the only book I read was one I had previously read a few years ago. No, I didn't discover any deep truths about myself or the world--I wasn't really looking. What I did find was a summer relatively free of worry and stress. I found fun and joy and the possibility of working alongside friends who become your family. I found a sort of groove, and life became more interesting and worthwhile than it had been for a long time.
