Morning Forest Walk About
I am a bit depressed this morning, not sleeping well. I have to talk myself into dressing for the wet and getting out of the house. I decide to walk down to the river, instead of up the old logging road to the ridge.
The river, (north fork of the Santiam river), won't fix me. nothing to fix. But sitting on the bank, listening to its rush. Allows more space in my head for melancholy to float, and not be so tight.
One of the hardest things I have ever learned to do is to allow myself to "feel" unsettled or unhappy and just go with it, and not worry or even try to "fix" it.
Sit and contemplate and understand both the feeling and what is driving it.
Which may or may not be able to help me change the feeling, but if not I understand where it is coming from and I can embrace what it is trying to tell me.
