Autumn Days.

It's autumn today, 64 and windy. Just like I like it.
I decided today was going to be a day I think with my feet. Woke up at 8, got back home at 1... makes it about a 3-4 hour walk sans travel time to the park.
Parked, got out, picked a direction... started walking, hands deep in my jacket pockets.

I walked until I didn't know where I was, and then walked to find myself.
And you know what I realized? I'm good company. For myself, that is. You can't be happy with anything unless you're happy with yourself first, and it's rare to find the kind of peace with yourself that I found this morning.

Thoughts unfolded in my mind as my feet hit the pavement/boardwalk/packed dirt of the trails and I just let them come. Questions were raised, answers found, and I was reminded of the Psychological Anthropology course I had taken a while back. Most particularly of the Trance section. If ever I have been in a trance state, its at times like those where I move in an impenetrable bubble, untouched by time.

New resolution - Always make time for Autumn days.
