I’m once again surrounded by all things green, blue and natural—I’ve returned to the Mexican pacific coastline that I love to re-open my jungle lodge for the season. However, for the first couple of days, I was overcome by a feeling of empty restlessness. This was a new sensation that I couldn’t quite identify. Why was I reacting this way? Then it hit me…

I’m uncertain of the date, of the day of the week, or really even of the month, but I do know that I have a kayaking tour that will be the primary job of the day.
