My pack weighs 25 pounds. Tomorrow I will park my car where I could walk no further one year ago. I will walk into the woods, companioned by only my dog, Paulo. I will walk south, attempting to cover another distance on my journey to Georgia before I return to school for the spring semester.
The lines under my eyes are thicker than I have ever seen them. My lifestyle here is going to kill me. Late dinners, late nights, late mornings. Its time to take control again and get back on track.
I don’t know how far I will go. I have yet to look at the map lodged in my hip pocket. The goal is freedom and peace. And this is the only way I know how to get both of those in one fell swoop.
Woods are great to bring peace back to your heart. Good to read you are back in the woods, SOBO!
