I am in desperate need to get away from all of this. I need to get away from the computer, TV, man made sounds, work, chores, everything. I need to breathe and I need to feel something besides all of THIS. I want to sit by Santeetlah Creek, my oldest and dearest friend, I want to read, listen, see, feel, know, experience, taste everything it has to offer to me. I need to feel the cold water running over my body at midnight, sit on my dear old rock and watch the sun rays fall through the trees and into the water, hear the Owl and know he still approves of me, hear my friends sing me to sleep, watch in silence and anticipation for the arrival of the Moon.
I am thirsty for seclusion. I need to make love to a tree.
I was approved for 3 days vacation next week. I will be leaving Sunday and return home Wednesday. I am working on my Piety essay.
I will update again before I leave and will return with lots of pictures and stories.

“I hope you are filled with peace and fulfillment, and will be looking forward to those pictures and stories.”
I said,
“Thank you so much. There is just oo much negative input into my brain lately with the OF and work. I just need to get somewhere to clear it and then get some positive things in there.
I am excited to leave on Sunday and glad my vacation was approved in such a short notice.
Again…thanks”
