Cabin Vacation

The best vacation is not about switching off, but about switching on to the other things that are important.  It is important that the pace be different from the normal routine, or the daily trauma of work. Turning off is not beneficial to health.  The cabin is a completely different realm from that of my home, work place, airports, hotels, and rental cars.  Different is beneficial to my life.

I have known these Appalachian mountains since childhood.  As an architect, I knew the cabin as it formed in my mind, on paper, and later as it appeared in the meadow.  Understanding these things individually came easy to me.  Relating to them in this ancient setting, artistic shape, and warm volume proved to be difficult.  The challenge was in learning the best fit and proper pace.  How do I harvest the best fruit for the day and evening spent there.  Now, the sway of its pendulum quickly eases down the rhythms of my soul.  I have learned to give over easily to this place, its pace, and its time.

Now, I know which toys to bring, what book I want to read, and what type of movies I want to watch that I have or have not seen.  I want to sleep in.  I know what I want to think about, what planning I want to contemplate, how I want to pray, for what to give thanks, and there is the matter of  new requests.  I know what passages I want to think about weeks before I see the cabin in front of me.

I know what types of foods I want to prepare - enjoy; I know what beverage I want to savor.  I know how I want to feel when I have to leave; and the type of memories I want to take home, to my work, and to my community.  These moments spent in and about the cabin contribute to the peace in my life.  David
