Welcome to the 21st of Aug 2017!
It’s about 8 pm here the evening before, stunning night. One of those summer nights where you just want to sit outside with a nice hard cider or beer and watch the sun set. The kind where the light slips away so slowly you don’t even notice the transition until it’s pitch black.
Made all my trips out to the car, got everything packed except the machine and food that’s in the fridge, I know I’m only heading to Mom’s place for a few days, but I’d rather not have to buy food from the shops if I can avoid it, and I have perfectly good stuffs here already.
Looking forward to that morning “hit the road” energy. Always kinda fed on that, and although you know I’m not the morning-est of morning people, I feel like the earlier the better, especially for a long trip.
When we were young we vacationed in South Carolina for a few years, and I remember our parents packing the car the night before and barely waking us enough to get us in the back around 4:30 am.
I’m sure the strategy was to drive the most of the 16 or so hours with us kids sleeping, but I remember that feeling like you’re the only one left in the universe being on the road at that time.
Serious post apocalypse vibes.
I can totally see us making early runs like that in Van Daniel, hope you don’t mind taking the first shift tho. I’m a pretty good auto pilot when I’m conscious. Can sort bottles of water, snacks, tunes, directions. I’m kinda like an on-board 3d Siri or Alexa, I’m much better at dicy city driving than long open stretches, but my co-pilot game is FIRE.
Anyway, no shot I’m leaving at 4am tomorrow, hoping to wake up around 6:30 and be in the car by 6:45. Might stop for a coffee and just hit it, podcasts going, open road all to myself. Should make good time.
Also looking forward to that decompression energy. I really hope to show you that area one day. There’s a certain point just coming over the top of the first mountain, where you can see all the farmland, and mountains for miles and everything just falls away.
I swear it’s like entering a temporal rift- it’s the strangest pocket of stillness, and quiet and peace, like that feeling at the top of a rollercoaster before the big descent, where you look around, and feel weightless, and everything just IS.
Presence man, the less I live in the future and in the past the happier I am. Certainly working on it. Yoga helps tons SOO looking forward to getting back to that asap. Back felt about 85% today! YAY!
I better wrap this up. You’re looking for a good morning not a “Complete Works of Nomad Girl and her Feelings About Everything VOL 5”.
So, Good Morning.
I’m glad you’ve made it.
Wake up slow, drink some water (hopefully you’ve got your bottle in the fridge), take a big bear morning stretch and open those lungs.
I’ll be joining you in the land of the living shortly.
<3
