I honestly do. I get on a rampage about life or dance or capitalization. Or anything really. Like you know sometimes, maybe it only happens when your a kid ( but lately I've been finding even though adults are called "grown-ups" most of them still have a lot of "growing up" to do), but those moments where your standing somewhere; Lets say on the edge of where you normally walk to, when you take your walks normally ( if your the kind of person who takes walks normally, which i am, so just roll with me here), and then it suddenly hits you...you could just keep walking. I mean, whats stopping you? Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. I mean besides little things like, who will take care of the chickens. But in reality you could, physically just keep walking. I mean who said your walks end there. You could run away, like... Huck Fin, like... The Boxcar Kids. Who knows? So what do you do?Well you think about for a few seconds... and a few more... and then realize nah, Ive got too much stuff going on. Then you walk back home and don't give it another thought. Well recently, maybe its just because im sooo painfully close to graduating (2010), i haven't been just forgetting about it. I still wonder if i wouldve kept walking, where would i be walking now? So i haven't just kept on walking yet. But there has to be someone who has. One day i want to meet that someone(s).
ps. The picture is at my friend Tia's house. I was waiting for her to put her boots on so we could go play in the snow and i started wondering if i just started walking. Where would i go or end up...

I know the feeling well. I had it strong when I was sixteen, and still have it today. I guess the only difference now is that there is more than "chickens" telling me not to keep walking.
ReplyDeleteTravel is kind of like walking. You are totally free (if you allow yourself) to just go...wherever, whenever your spirit takes you. It's fun, just the same, to take a short such journey in your own back yard. then you get the sensations, without having to figure out where you're sleeping, eating, etc tonight. However, I must say, that too, is part of the feeling. That dealing with the "elements" of life. Feel the cold on your cheeks, your fingers starting to tingle from the cold. YOu know you're alive. Dad
