A Journey

No doubt inspired by the gutsy-ness of June Strong in her Little Journey, I have decided it is time for me to take off on my own journey. Mine more of a vision quest, with a desire to yes, "find myself". Love that phrase, so hippy like, so honest but at the same time so general, so self centered sounding, which is at this point, just fine with me. I need a bit of that centered stuff.

I am heading off to the wild blue, just me, myself and I. Back pack, walking stick, hiking boots prepared for the long haul. My favorite hat, complete with a peace symbol and phrases written on it with sharpies. Nothing extra to drag me down.

I need a break from blogging too. It fast becomes a thing of "this is a blogger moment, let me get the camera" or thoughts of doing things for divided reasons, to show and tell on the blog and then somewhere in there, for you or your family. Its not first and foremost thoughts to be shared, but thinking of stuff to share. There is a difference. I don't want there to be. I want to have life unfold naturally and perhaps then share it.

I suspect I will be gone a bit more than a week. Not sure where I will end up and actually at this point where I am going. Just someplace uncluttered by people and things. Walking, sitting, thinking, contemplating and most importantly sitting in silence empty of thought. Deep meditation. I am not afraid. Fear cripples folks and holds them hostage in a world of "what if's". For all I know I could end up camped out on my own land or way out in the wilderness. I just know I need to do this. Its time to get honest with what I believe or don't believe.

See ya in a week or so.....
