Always a bit of a discovery that mental and spiritual focus is necessary in places of rest and recovery as they are in the place of the struggle. The abyss is still there -- it's just not making itself present to you in the same manner.
You and the universe are still basically in the same relation, no matter what part of the world you happen to be in, and how it seems to be with that part of the world. It's going to take focus and work.
Part of the reason that I can't ever recall going on vacation. We can't vacate the place we are in, in the larger sense. And the sense in marking out a certain duration within which we will deliberately not care about the most important things eludes me. Even the weekend rest is the rest into the center of things, hence the habit of church.
