Going into the woods —for Happy Headwork

A letter to my future self:
Thank you, universe, for shaping such pleasant spaces where we can be ourselves without concern, since the woods merely observe us. I think, in my imagination, we have shared sufficient time to assist one another in our previous life. Now, during this lifetime, I have been absent and caught in city mode, which I am not honestly enjoying.

By city mode, I mean I want to do this and that. Some describe it as ADHD; others call it mindless action. Yet when I am cutting wood and attempting the through technique, a flow state emerges. It helps me set aside a mental highway where motorbikes race with hundreds of tasks, steps, and ideas.

Fantastic experience. Thank you, Steph and Andrew, for giving me this experience.
