I've been super attached to my music lately, it seems to be the only thing that calms my mind as it races with every problem, idea, and fear. I seem to understand things better when my minds on music, its my drug, my addiction. I've had so many things happen this summer so far. People I've met, things I've seen...or just simply discovering myself. I met a man today, he sounds like he was possibly australian. He had a big old travelers backpack on and wanted to know where clearwater was. I had no idea...
I came to find out that he was on a trip by foot, only following trails to Montana. He started in Madison Wisconsin and it took him 11 days to get to well, me. He said he believed it would take him 40 days to get there. It was something he was doing for kids and retired vets.
Think about it, to be so free of all bonds of every day life to pack a bag strap it to you and just walk....
All you care about is what you see. It was such a crazy thing for someone like me to comprehend, to have nothing but the open road ahead of you, not a care in the world. Natures beauty surrounds you, and you're the closest to it you'll ever be. I've been so down and confused wondering how I'm going to make money, how I'm going to survive then theirs a man with nothing who's using his two feet to bless others. I want the simple life, I want to appreciate the two legs God gave me.
I'm a selfish human being, who wants nothing more then to be selfless.
I
