I really appreciate the balance available to me in life right now.

I just got back from the wilderness today, for the first time since I moved to San Francisco.  But before I moved here I lived in a tent and worked constantly for two months, so it was a different feeling.

The best part is that I feel like I got exactly what I needed from the trip, and now I'm happy to be back in civilization.

Also, I'm going to see jazz legend Ahmad Jamal on Thursday at the symphony hall.  I imagine that will be excellent as well, in a very different way, but creating a very similar feeling to the joy I feel from the stars and the trees.  It's all one symphony.
