I have been doing something strange lately. I have been going to places that are completely indifferent to my presence and sitting with that indifference until it stops feeling like rejection and starts feeling like relief. There is something extraordinarily restful about an environment that does not need anything from you. No performance. No output. No value to demonstrate. The mountain was there before you arrived and will be there after you leave and your feelings about it are genuinely not part of its operating system. I find that deeply comforting. Maybe that says something about how much performance the rest of my life requires. Or maybe it just says I like mountains. Either way I am going back. #naturetherapy #outdoorwoman #adventurewoman #costarica
