escape

The desert. Yes, that’s a good place to escape. Then I can wander and get lost in the beauty and solitude. Where all that will change is the shadows. Where my mind can forget about the time, the day, the problems at work, and can concentrate on absorbing the beauty that exists. I want to watch clouds grow and travel across the sky. I want to lay awake at night and look for shooting stars. And I want to feel the sun and the wind as they touch my skin.

This is the escape I need.

I need to escape for a while. Work is draining what energy I have. The house is the money pit and I just need to get away somewhere where I can forget about all this and just enjoy a walk or looking at flowers or something.

Arrgg. A river trip would be nice. Or camping in the desert.

But I probably can’t go now. So I’m thinking a long weekend in ABQ is a good idea. At least it will break up the routine and give me a chance to clear my mind. I’m just overwhelmed with things right now. Truly overwhelmed.

escape from my current life for a while. Escape from other peoples’ expectations. Escape from my bad habits. Escape from the boredom that exists when I have to follow a routine. I just want to escape for a while – even 3 days would help. Like a vacation but not quite. I want to go somewhere totally different and do things that are new to clear my head.

I NEED this!
