Let’s Get Out Of The Normal
And Find The Beautiful!
I need to leave this place of the normal, this place of shouting and anger, and escape to where there is simply beauty and the peace that only Nature can offer.
To peer out at the vastness of the ocean, and feel a mist of saltwater hit my face, and wonder what exists at the edge of the horizon. If I were able to reach it, would I simply fall off its edge and be elsewhere, where everything is new and strange?
The power and majesty of a waterfall, appearing from nowhere, falling from the heavens, and pounding against the surface before me. If I were to stand beneath its force, would I forget about the discord of the world, would the memory of its horrific acts be washed from my soul?
Finally, I find my tree of life. A trunk so sturdy and strong to support all species of mankind, all have a place here. Roots, massive and free, reaching out in all directions, hugging the Earth and reaching deep into the millennia, where the past becomes the present, where I can see into the future, where I can find peace. I will linger here a while until I’m ready to return, return to what is.
>>>>Where is your escape? Do you have an escape plan?
Thanks and see you next time, until then, take care!
