Walking the Mental Path

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." Henry David Thoreau

I've been fighting more lately. Fighting myself, my decisions--past, present, future--fighting, just to keep moving. Today I found this place, sure it's no Walden; it was, however, enchanting. It was perfect. Listening to the rain and the birds, and of course, the occasional siren and that damn traffic. :) But for a few hours I felt like stepping out of time. Into a place that resembled somewhere somebody may have lived.....a long, long time ago. Invisible to the world. Just me, alone. Able to think. Able to write. Able to be.
