Come In Planet Earth...

My name is Caitlyn, but a few call me Charlie. Recently, climbing has taken a special place in my life. I hope to use this blog as a sort of journal for my climbs as well as my travels when they come my way.

Planet Earth?

Come in planet Earth? Do you read me?

Recently I’ve been meditating. I’ve found this place inside me where it’s just me, and nothing else. Sometimes it’s hard to get to, and I don’t always find it.

But when I do, it’s nothing like being in reality where you have a good sense of what’s around you and where you stand in relation to those objects. In this place I’ve found, it’s just me, and nothing else. And it’s amazing and immense and terrifying all at the same time. Then when I come back to reality, there’s a clarity and appreciation that I didn’t have before I started meditating. 

I still can only focus on one thing at a time, but I’m glad to have found this place inside myself. My mind has already started to feel clearer. 

Over and out!

I really want a pet, but my immediate plans for life don’t allow for an animal friend. I miss having a dog, but they deserve a lot of time and attention that I can’t provide due to school. I’ve been thinking about getting a turtle too, but I would feel guilty confining it to a tank all the time…

I’ll probably just go to K-mart and buy a plant, though I get the feeling that this will all end in tears a month later when the plant has become a shriveled lifeless husk despite my best efforts… 

I just want someone/something to love and take care of…
