I have always loved to travel .. and somehow the same free time spent at home versus taking a break, even if 2 hours away at Lonavla - makes all the difference and i come back to energized, fresh. I have been telling myself lots of reasons why it works - the relaxation, away from the stress, being close to nature - whilst these are all right too, they are not the real reason, which i incidentally stumbled upon now, during one such trip.
Traveling allows the mind time for Stillness.. to just be, without the ordinary distractions. This stillness then creates the space for those many thoughts which have been loosely hanging around in the head - but never met the prioritization of everyday life - to inch out. It almost puts you back in touch with yourself. I had read about Stillness before (Elle Harrison, Wild Courage) - but suddenly it seemed to fit. Its amazing how fulfiling a good explanation can be.
