Nevertheless it has drained you both to some extent. Luckily it will not be at all difficult for you to spring back. Psychically, you are much more resilient now. Another small point. From your small circle of friends you do receive a very beneficial exchange of psychic energies and comprehensions.

This is a most enjoyable and beneficial way of psychic relaxation and renewal. Do not be concerned with physical time. Do not overdo. Come home before you are tired. Forget if possible all personal egotistical considerations, feeling only psychic unity. You will be amazed at how this will help.

The psychic exchange I have spoken of concerning congenial and fairly regular visitors such as Mark, is subconscious, and you all benefit. Even the regularity, when not overdone, is a strong asset, and in its absence some sort of compensating steps should be taken.

You seem to go to extremes. Either Ruburt has the house filled with people, or no one comes at all. It goes without saying that a good deal of your resistance in this area is caused by fear. There is a necessary resistance that speaks for isolation, and some is certainly a necessity.

You will find that the sort of focus, the particularized focus achieved in the free contemplation and enjoyment of nature, is a welcome change from the dissociated focus aimed at to some degree in psychic pursuits. If possible I suggest that Ruburt forget until after vacation all problems, concerning his job or a new one.

I mentioned earlier that he is more in need of a vacation than you are, as last year the situation was reversed. His need is not as pressing as yours was then, but it is pressing nevertheless. Physical activity will be good. Any creative physical improvements in the apartment will help. He has attempted much more fully than ever to meet what he considers his responsibilities than ever before willingly, and can use an exuberance. Exuberance to him indeed is a safety valve, and all in all an excellent one when kept within bounds.

Expectation on his part of the house to some degree at least provided this. His tendency, both for undisciplined reactions and for habitual discipline, seem contradictory, but represent merely counterbalances in his nature. He could, conceivably, act with no discipline, but he could also conceivably deny himself any freedom at all, and hide within schedule and habit.
