Turning point

Before the car picked me up to return to San Francisco, I took a walk around the spa's labyrinth. Labyrinths are thought of as a symbolic form of pilgrimage; where you walk the path, ascending toward enlightenment. As you walk among the turnings, you lose track of direction and the outside world, and this quiets the mind.

My week at WeCare did start me out on my path toward enlightenment and I was physically leaving 10 lbs lighter than I arrived. Armed with a salad for the plane, a freshly cleaned colon and some clarity about a few changes I wanted to make in my life, I felt calmer than I had in a long time. However, as I headed back to the outside world, I can't say my mind was completely quiet.
