There were a few problems on the trail today. In addition to getting lost in the forest briefly, I fell off of an elevated log trail and bruised my calf quite deeply but managed to finish the trip despite the pain. I had already been limping along a bit due to a bicycle accident in the city before my retreat where a crazy man in a hummer knocked me off my bike at a fairly high rate of speed. The road where I crashed wasnt damaged too badly so no big deal:) The hike today was 5 hours round trip and I was predictably tired at the end. I wasnt looking forward to the 4 hour drive back into the concrete jungle (Bratislava). It didnt take long for the battle within myself to begin on the journey home as I struggled to remain positive in the face of callous, rude drivers. But nothing could dampen my spirit as I savored the sweet moments I encountered with the lover of my soul these past 4 days.
