Focusing too much on spiritual pursuits can be exhausting, so I have felt trapped also at times. Existing too much in the mind is not good. These days I feel motivated to learn and do things that connect me to life and the present moment in very real ways, which would actually be considered spiritual or sacramental living. I feel called to pay more attention to what I do with my body, and use it as a tool spiritually. Things like being in nature, connecting with the Earth, connecting with people, growing food, learning about plants and animals, canning vegetables, foraging, and wildcrafting.
