Are you there?

I have a crazy love for the canyons, for the outdoors, for the sight of beautiful things.  May be the high elevation the breath taking views whatever it is...when I am up here, its just me, nothing matters, my mind is vacant, which takes me to a new trail I just visited today…

When questions start to ransack my entire brain, i know it's time to go to the canyons. the sloping hills, and smell of decaying wood brings a strange sort of peace for the individuals here. You're protected from the outside world of emails, texts, obligations, while you traverse around the roots, you admire the bent limbs, and contemplate how it will outgrow you and the person behind you. the crunching of yellow leaves under your foot makes you want to sear that moment into your brain for the later years, when you won't be capable of walking so fast and once that thought goes through, you'll probably launch into an impromptu sprint, running as fast as you can and when you reach the clearing, all you'll see is a mass of blue and light, so bright, you'll have to cover your eyes…and for a moment, you will be happy. and just for a moment, you will be at peace. and you'll go back to your life, until the next time the questions start again don't worry, the canyon will be waiting here for you.
