this weekend i went backpacking and it was a much needed break from reality.
walking through the forest (and oh what a forest it was) i found myself able to completely immerse myself in thought.
i didn't even feel the need for my thoughts to be important, i day dreamed about anything and everything and i just let my feet carry me along the winding path. the path itself was remarkable! it was lined with the greenest moss and covered with beautiful fall leaves, and the weather help up so that there was this beautiful glint of sunlight coming through the trees
on saturday night, we climbed up to the top of a dune and looked up at the stars for a long time. i saw the milky way and tried to figure out some constellations, then i resorted to pondering the difficulties of grasping the actual nature of the universe. I decided that i need to see the stars more regularly from now on... they operate as a reminder of sorts.
i have pictures too:
but i'll post them later cause i can't figure it out right now
