The woods are lovely, dark and deep... but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
I went for a two-hour amble in the woods today, just for fun... I was feeling extremely private--not lonely or closed off or anything, I just wanted to be by myself in this beautiful spring weather.
I'd almost forgotten how much I love just wandering in the woods, and exploring, since it's been so long since I've had enough time to actually just do nothing but put one foot in front of the other... I almost cried, I was so happy, because I found a trail for which I've been looking for almost six months.
On the way back I actually ran into some friends, who were taking pictures in the woods (my friend Sarah G. is very into photography, she's quite good) and it was quite peculiar. And almost dark, so they were kinda running out of time in which to take pictures.
It was getting dark, so I was hurrying home... it was the oddest thing, but as I was passing this meadow, in the cold, in the rapidly approaching dark, with the wind blowing, I kind of just wanted to take my clothes off and run around. Not in a "Talasin being crazy and spontaneous like always" way, just... I really wanted to run around scantily clad in the dark woods. Yeah.
I did stop on the hill up to the houses, and laid down to look at the clouds. I don't see why you can't look at the clouds on cloudy days and only on mostly clear days.
Then I got home and my dad freaked out. Apparently he didn't hear me when I said I was going on a walk, and he thought I had run away or I had died or something unfortunate...
Anyway, now that the musical is almost over (performances November 13-15 at 7:30, you can see me onstage for a grand total of about five minutes, singing my heart out in a nun costume) I plan on spending a great deal more time in the woods... Even though I'm planning on taking Behind the Wheel after this week and getting my license.
