It's Days Like Today That Make Me Love Life
Went hiking with Stoney today. We climbed those bitches, the Chimney's. Although it was a bitch to get up there what with my chain smoking and all.
There was nothing that I needed more than today. To sit on top of a mountain with the wind blowing by you. To be able to see the vast complex creations of God around you and pull yourself out of your narrow view of the world for a mere hour or so...it was so immaculate. I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay up there for as long as humanly possible. It's days like today that you realize how small you really are, and how much you can still do to help yourself and others. My petty problems and concerns...they mean absolutely nothing. And at the same time, being there made me feel so vindicated. Only one other person was seeing what I was seeing, and I couldn't ask for anyone better to be there. I couldn't ask for anyone better to confess my concerns to. But at the moment, everything including ourselves, a squirel, and the very place we we're sitting were all insignificant. We're simply pieces in a puzzle that no one has solved. Days like today make me happy to be alive. They remind me that life is too wonderful to spend in sadness. Life is too great to spend it on trivial things. I think that's what I'll do this week. Focus less on trivial matters, and try not to fuck anything up.
I'm the master of escapes...
"She's not mature enough to handle that. She listens to Simple Plan and likes it."
- comment made towards stoney about someone who well....bleh
I'm not drinking for a long time...I'll stop smoking for a month if Stoney promises to not drink for a month. We'll just have to use the honor system...i think I trust him enough now. Maybe....
Much Love
