FINDING MY ZEN

 GAME OVER. YOU LOSE.

There are times for full swing, and there are times for zen. Last weekend was last mentioned. After a few busy, long weeks, I went on a trip upstate to visit some beloved people in Albany. A hop, skip, and a bus ride later I found myself surrounded by silence. No honking, no loud music from the neighbors, no big crowds. Just silence. I don’t think I’ve slept so well in a long time. It’s funny how I’ve been craving the big city for all my life. Finally moving here, I often find myself with a need to go back to my roots. On the country side. Trips like these definitely help finding my zen and preparing for a new week in the busy apple, and going back, I even found myself totally excited when Manhattan appeared. Like a tourist again for a few minutes, taking photos and snaps of the iconic view. I’m staying here in New York City for Thanksgiving, but I promised myself to find the silence a little more often. Next: Maybe the Poconos?
