I'm A Student......
I have had a lovely six months of freedom from duties, schedules, and task…. and now I am a student again. For the time being, this is my job! I am continuing to use my military benefits to finish my degree while the rest of my life is in the “working itself out” phase. I have really been enjoying my time back in the gym working with coaches to get my meat suit working strong and properly again. I love every second of working out and find it so interesting that I took so many years off from intense training. I feel it has been a great humbling experience like everything else going on. I feel that I can better relate to people when they have been outta the game.
Today is July 4th and it is cool and wet here in the Pacific Northwest. I am not sure if we will see the sun until next week. I am slowing loosing my nice golden tan from my travels to the south. Since this is my first week of online classes, it is nice for the weather to be cloudy and cool - it inspires me to sit down and get my scheduled ironed out for the weeks ahead. I am going to finish my Bachelors Degree so I can have that under my belt. The degree isPsychology - whatever, I am not a huge fan of formal education and I am a lifelong study addict who really despises the formal system of education - however, I am doing this work to get a paycheck each month to help support my lifestyle choices of travel and freedom at the moment.
My life is shifting so much, I find it hard to digest at times. I feel very alone most days, but I also feel full of love because of the friends around me. My comment in feeling alone is the way I view the world, I don’t feel I have anyone in person to talk about that with. Most of my connections to my views on the human existence come through youtube, but in my day to day…… I keep the conversation very surface with people i am around. This ensures I don’t get to weird on people that can’t handle my level of thinking about why we are on the planet.
I am pretty sure for the rest of the year, I will continue to ponder the idea of me teaching again soon. (on a regular basis) I know when the time is right, it will happen organically. Kind of like the workshops I am hosting while I am here in Washington, those just came to me organically when I was at my mom’s house in Tennessee. I just went with the feeling I had - I want to continue to do that same kind of work - the kind that feels good.
One thing that is really coming up in my heart is going back to California to Camp P to camp and surf for about a week or so. I am feeling this trip is calling my name and I kind of want to do it while I am on the road this summer. Maybe hit that area in September? I had so much fun staying there, I want to go back and experience the waves and good vibes again soon!
