Let it ride
I briefly found a moment of serenity during my trip out here, and it's something I'd like to hold on to. I'm not sure how to describe it beyond that. It was a moment when much of what I've been worried with, in large and in detail, fell into perspective. I felt correct and aligned, despite of (or in light of) the fact that I am rapidly headed in a new direction. It's hard to hold onto moments like this, because they go against my nature of deciding what "should be" over what is natural; I use my energy to control, and to conform to what I think should be over what actually is (or what might be, or the possibility of what could be). Man, just let it ride.
This move feels natural in every respect. I shall try to not crush it by conforming to perceived ideals that, while not impossible, are impractical, uncomfortable, or sometimes just not who I am. Somehow moving to a foreign environment has made me feel more like myself.
I hope to post a lot of pictures of the trip soon. What a great experience this has been so far, and it's been made all the better to share it with family and friends, both first-hand and in correspondence.
(Evening of Friday the 6th, on Interstate 84, through gorgeous Utah).
