Today was an in-between day.
When you travel for awhile and then come back home, it takes a bit of time to adjust.
I’m not just talking about jet lag, although there is that. But there’s also climate lag (like when you’ve gone from the warm sunny tropics to cold rainy almost-winter), and people lag (like when you’ve gone from traveling with a person/people to being alone), and life lag (like when you’re not quite ready to return to the worries and responsibilities of your normal life).
I’m just lagging in general today. It’s a bit like the African story of the porters stopping to wait for their souls to catch up. My body, brain and heart are all feeling the need to wait, to let the rest of me catch up.
Hopefully I will be ready to move beyond the in-between tomorrow.
