Walking In a Quiet Place

walking in a quiet place taking in the surroundings not much to see, but it is what i need coming back from somewhere between guess where and where the hell, i decided to just stop i got that i-am-not-ready-to-go-back-to-my-normal-life-yet-dammit feeling while staring into some type of space, stumble across a creek and almost fall in i find a rock and throw it in i then find another rock and throw that one in becoming enjoyably addictive, i just continuously throw rocks until time becomes an ancient vapor in my mind before i know it, then sun begins to go down i say to myself 'i think i better be on my way' you see, my watch read 6:38pm....and i have 158 more miles to go if not for the job i have that made it possible for me to take this here trip, i would follow the arrow that reads 'something or 'nother beach-64 miles' all of a sudden, i again begin to wish i could win the lottery oh, the mere joy of real life!
