And your description of fly fishing reminds me of activities that bring me to mindfulness and flow. I used to fish a little--not fly fishing, though--but my favorite outdoor activity has always been hiking, which I hope to do a lot of this summer. I'll also be adding professional tech work to the mix which is some balance that I really need after six years at home with kids. Your post made me realize something I must have already known, but forgot: that balancing is an activity more than an end result. The concept of hozho makes that clear as it is translated as "walking the beauty way." It's an activity, not a destination. Your summer in Maine sounds wonderful.
