Zen

I've felt it lately - stress eating into me like battery acid.

It's been too long since I sat in silence and emptied my mind of absolutely everything, without interruption, without distraction, without background noise other than wind or water.

It's been too long since I spent time away from the worries, the hassles, the pressures. Lived simply from moment to moment without rushing into the next second with a to-do list.

It's been forever since I simply got out of the city to a place with no internet, no phones, no pressure to do anything or be anywhere - no alarm clocks, just the gentle rhythm of days.

In fact, I think I need to grab my favourite man and disappear into the bush for a week or a million.
