Three days in the wilderness…That’s what I call a “Staycation.” A tent in my backyard involves stakes 70 miles long. Because that’s how far out into the wilderness I’ll be. Get stuck, good luck. I’ve been there, it SUCKS! But it feels so good to be free in the wilderness alone. It’s you against the world! And the world gives two shits about you. While sitting on this bluff overlooking the wild expanse I can’t help but think about life. And my place on this earth. It's an experience that words cannot describe.
While out in the wilderness, within Gods great creation, I thought about life and how I can contribute to this world. How can I make a difference on this earth. With the heavy patter of rain and the distant thunder clapping against the mountains I felt a sense of ease, like everything would be ok. My life will be OK. I know the road ahead is wrought with, most importantly, joy, but also uncertainty filled with wonder. The peace I felt in the mountains, the solace the wonder…It’s more that you can describe, you have to experience it. Feel it…Touch it…Bleed it…To understand it.
While reflecting amongst the powerful energy of the universe I’m humble, I’m humble in the fragility of my life and how that fragility has an impact, like a sledgehammer on those who value their lives. An impact that can change lives universally.
