I had never felt at such peace. Lying there, surrounded by great friends, having heartfelt conversation, and living life the way we were meant to. Next time, we will plan a better location for our sleeping bags. The Chillagoe sun was too much at such an early hour. How I miss Australia.. When will we be able to plan our escape?

Go for a drive by myself with no destination in mind.

Aimlessly driving 15 months ago

Driving back to the house I decided that I wasn’t quite ready to end the night. So the drive began by simply exploring those places that I have yet to see in such a lomg time. With the windows down and the wind whipping by, it was a drive of self recollection, of quiet contemplation, but most of all it was a drive of recognition of my place in this life as of the moment.

“The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.”

Driving along the backroads aimlessly, with nothing but the wind rushing by and the peace I had found within the craziness of these times, I found myself feeling infinite. That quiet, cool, summer night had transformed into something completely unexpected. I found peace within myself and a calmness of my life that was truly needed. With everything that lies around the corner that is too far to touch yet too close to ignore, I found a profound sense of security in the matter.

It was a perfect night with a perfect song on that perfect drive that made me feel infinite.
