What Returns Me to Myself

+ ask me a question

As inspired by Isabel, in no particular order:

Swimming in the ocean, especially when the water glimmers silver in the afternoon sun

Reading a thick book for hours and hours

Setting a timer and scribbling down whatever comes to mind, bordering on belles-lettres

Arranging and charging my crystals on the windowsill

Lying on the floor and listening to Joni Mitchell’s Blue from start to finish like I’m 15 again

Making tea with wildflower honey and sitting down to enjoy it with a piece of toast and whipped butter

Dropping sandalwood in my diffuser and letting it float around the room

Baking something yummy, especially if I have to run to the market first to assemble ingredients

Writing a letter to someone I love and sealing it with pink wax

Brushing, oiling, and braiding my hair, then spraying it with lemongrass hair perfume

Watching old black-and-white movies in bed while eating frozen blueberries

Taking care of my nails and nourishing them with lemon cuticle butter

Stretching slowly, sinking into each pose, feeling my muscles unlock

My perfect pre-sleep routine: red light therapy, Tibetan singing bowls, and lying on my Shakti mat for 30 minutes

Flipping through digitized museum archives and discovering new pieces that move me

Seeing a swan in the sky
