Wow! I haven't updated in so long....i don't even know where to begin.
I had to take a break from the trail for Dave's brother's wedding, wicked good time! Then had to go to the island to take care of some boat issues. Not as big of a deal as i had feared and dreaded! So i am on Block Island, takin care of business and having a great time in the process.....don't worry, even if i wanted to stay, my friends would kick me off the island and personally drag me back to the trail! Got some sweet surfing in, sushi, wine, great friends who i hope know how valuable they are~ Big changes, some good evolution to work with for the second half of this AT Hiking Adventure. I feel like the REAL work is ahead. This journey is only half, probably less, physical. The rest, that's all spirit, man. Where your mental mind goes during a long day, just essentially walking on a path. You have time to explore every minute thought or feeling. Examining your emotions. Really digging deep into you dreams. Daydreaming. And a beautiful amount of time just admiring natures handy work. Watching how the leaves turn up their silvery sides in a thunderstorm. Checking out passing clouds. Just sitting and listening to the sounds of the birds and the breeze. It's sweet, and it reminds how simple peace can be. It begins inside yourself. It makes me dream of a peaceful world.
Anyway, i think i am running out of time at the library, so i need to post this. I don't really feel like i'm done writing...maybe more later.
But for a physical update...I have gone as far as Harper's Ferry, just outside of D.C. So that's 1013 miles, just under halfway there!! Pretty sweet.
Peace Ya'll
