Temporarily back in the northeast, feeling weird. Feeling like this is where I should be, ultimately. There's a lot of small things, the feeling of humidity dissipating at night, driving on winding roads lined with houses and fields and not much else, jaywalking and not feeling weird about it, that make me feel almost at ease. I'm not sure how to describe it in a way that makes sense, because those are external things, right? And ultimately happiness comes from within. But I think this is the kind of place that ultimately will provide the environment to foster that internal cultivation. And I don't think that's something you can realize until you're somewhere else.
