Story

Years ago, I was told a Story from the Middle East that has resonated for me on countless occasions. "The Human Soul can travel only as fast as a running Camel."

  • When I travel, it takes me a day or 2 to settle into Place.
  • The length of time depends on the extent of the Travel. "Going Home" usually takes less time for me to "settle", although I always find some kind of adjustment needed.
  • Considering the extent of our Running in Western Culture, it seems to me that our Camels are on "dis-connect" and most often playing games of Catching Up. When will we truly "arrive"?
  • The more I settle into life on this Little Farm, the more reluctant I am to leave.
