And where I am going, I don't know. I just know I am too tired today. Long day, confronting day. I need tomorrow to catch up and then I am off.
Today I got up, I worked, I slept and I realised.

Realisation comes at a cost. It comes at the cost of leaving things behind. A bit of your soul, sometimes. A part of your body, other times. There is no chance you will leave today unscathed. There will be scar tissue and it always will be in places that you do not expect it. It might weaken you at first. It always does. It plummets you down from previous heights, grinds you into the earth, where you will bleed and bleed until you are all bloodless, a lifeless vessel. Empty.

Yet, vessels will fill themselves up again. With rain or whatever floats our boats.
And you, sir, you are my rain. I was an empty vessel and now I find that the bottom holds a bit of joy I cannot put my finger on.

So I walk until I know. I need to know. will walk by houses, trees and people. I will see and feel and smile. Sometimes things are just that easy. Walk away and start over. Maybe not your entire life, just a part of it. Walk away and experience life afresh. Or remember. Embrace. Expand.

I need walking shoes.

Most incredible post I have read in days

The guys I work with are doing the Caledonian Challenge in June. 54 miles in 24 hours. For charity, obviously.



I thought about it when I heard they are walking, but when I heard what it actually is I decided they were a bit :wacko:


Hi Herman

I have always wanted to do that, but run not walk. I think also that is a mental thing not physical. I have a recurring dream where I'm trying to run but I'm not moving fast enough, it's so frustrating. Lol totally transparent!! I also have one where I'm fighting but not hitting hard enough, and with all the strength in me I can't make a dent.

Hey!

And I will probably not walk. I will ride my bike, I suppose.

Very true.

We need to arrange a little gathering.
