The last weekend of October was here<\/strong>, and so in ritualistic fashion, HC heads out to Joshua Tree again for his annual sabbatical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time he stays at The Shadow House<\/strong>, surrounded by Joshua Trees and silence on all sides. The Zen, minimal flow of the place had him enjoying the sun deck, taking the occasional dip in the hot tub and cowboy bath, and just walking the dirt roads in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching Stranger Things<\/strong> again to get ready for the new season starting soon, catching college football and the World Series on the radio. A pack of hungry coyotes passes by his large window. He smiles as thoughts of his sister roll around his mind. Tears wells up then release down his face. It’s helpful to his current emotional state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shadow House<\/strong> is a perfect place to simultaneously remember and forget. To let go as well as hold on to memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
