It has been a while since I have had the time or the mindset to write in here about the path and journey I am on. Parts have ended, some may just be beginning. I sit here this morning with just the sound of the waves and the wind in the trees wondering what spurred explorers to venture from the shores of home and go to unknown lands maybe to die alone so far away just to see new things. I must have that gene. I know I could go and see and travel if I had the opportunity. I would love to see how Mother Earth is looking and what she has to offer up to us. I am not into her riches but in her natural beauty and would love to find all the less traveled paths to try.
I used to do them alone, then some with Cal and some I took friends and Shannon with me. It was always good to share them with someone. But I learned more alone. The solitude takes you deeper and I found that the spiritual side begins to come closer and connect with the space you are in. I found it amazing at times how quickly you can be recharged be a short hike alone in a place you love with no distractions. Here it is the vast ocean that does it. I have yet to try any boating yet, but I bet sailing will eventually be one of my favorite things.
Life is full of wonder and surprises, some good some not so good but I am trying to learn from it all and I hope that I will get back in to wandering through my thoughts and trips again now that I have the space in my brain back. Thanks Scott for being such a good person, happy trails and see you on the other side, or if there really is reincarnation, I hope you come back as a dog then I can find you. Remember, white dog and silly looking just like we discussed.
