I am grateful to have had the opportunity to travel and visit friends and family over these summer weeks. And as my travels wrap up, I feel a longing for home. I recognize my own need to return to the routines and structures of my regular life and feel the pull to settle in and be still. I am reminded that returning home does not require the actual physical act, returning home is a practice of mindfulness.

Coming home is settling into the body, finding our breath, climbing down from the activity of the mind to find that familiar place of stillness that is the source of peace and joy.

Losing a sweet little symbol of the dharma can be one of its greatest teachers—leading me to think more about suffering, choice, and the everyday heroes who teach us by example.

Harmony is neither black nor white. Harmony is the peaceful hue of grey.

Rest isn’t just a pause before we plunge back into the grind; it’s a way of honoring our physical and emotional well-being. It’s a way to remember our wholeness.
