Joy

Silent settled so well with me today. Good sleep and a grand adventure into an area I had not been to in several years. Then to find my solitude in the trails I walked today.

Joy.

The warmth of the atmosphere just enhanced the chill of joy quaking inside my spirit. That giddy little child that finds a hidden treasure. Ever imagine, ever experienced that kind of deeply rooted adrenaline?

Kindness of how mentioning people in a casual conversation my heart doesn't pound hard in anger nor disappointment.  All I feel for those I left behind weeks ago, are the pieces of sadness in their own confusion.

Yet I don't let that harm my spirit nor even my mind. By certain my heart is no longer heavy.

Sure once I thought maybe, just maybe I meant something but how can someone really stretch themselves so far to accommodate so little. A sure fire way to eliminate yourself from their lives.

And I did just that.

Yet as much as it hurt when the strings were cut, even when trying to tell people interest isn't there anymore but furthermore the pain of a loss. Sure it hurt but like all losses you finally see the light behind the darkened cloth.

It's one of those moments I have each time I take a walk. Finding the tiny bits of beauty in nature. It is the calm I received after such turmoil.

I thought I would never feel real again. I thought I would wallow in the times of past. Yet I find myself leaping forward in greatness finding the joy I had lost.

For me that is the silence. That is the coolness in the evening sky. It is the brightest of stars that twinkle above me.

Sure I still have my memories. Some are nasty but the rest are soft whispering sighs. And even when I had my anger moments I still can't be mad. Just disappointed I put too much effort into a one sided friendship.

That is the kind reminders of life. Next time, not a 200 % effort but a 50/50 one instead. That is my careful steps.

The importance of peace is there. And from now on it is there. I am not fighting for anyone. I am not giving up but I won't fight for anything that doesn't want to fight for me.

Sadly as I was walking today, I realized I fought too hard against the warriors for nothing. That is when I leaned down and felt completely free of emotion about any one person.

The completion of eliminating the need to search, to gain a glance was pooled down to the earth. That sense of comfortably draining myself down to the dirt I started from.

The softest of offers. A release of bitterness and contentions. It was gratifying and fortifying.

Stillness. Breathing. Completely calm.

My photos prove my joy. What I sought to have. Not many know me but who do understand the depth of my love of nature.

Yet does any one really comprehend why? I dare those to seek the answers. I dare those to wonder. Yet I won't ask if you learned anything. I won't even ask if you listened to me.

All I am going to say is nature is my proof. Leaving it at that,  maybe someday you can tell me why it is "proof".
