Last thoughts on my silent weekend.
After facing my biggest fear, of being alone with myself and hearing my thoughts, I decided that on my way home, I had one skeleton in my closet to face: my home town. While the town itself is not evil or bad, I associate it with all of the pain that I carried during my life. I made a slight (100 mile) detour on my way home from the retreat, full of peace, yet apprehensive of facing all of the shadows that darkened my world for so long.
