Went to the park today again. Made my way through the woods where I found the house that once stood. I made a point to walk between the holly bushes that once marked its front door and continued back onto the path.

I found a deer path and followed that through the woods for a while till I made it back to the path that followed a long the creek, and eventually to the river to get to my new favorite spot where I can boat watch and just chill out, almost completely alone. You can sit there for what seems like an hour on this large piece of comfortable drift wood, before seeing another soul.

I left here after awhile and headed back down the park path through the woods. Eventually I came across somebody, another man walking alone taking in him self, and the amazing peacefulness left abandoned and unexplored by just about everybody but the park rangers.

A little further I came across a deer, a doe, in the middle of the path. I stopped to look, and then kept walking my nice slow pace I had been walking. The doe sauntered off the path as I approached.

When I got to the place the deer stood, I stopped and looked over to see if the doe was near. Then I noticed, you know those white wishies that blow of dandelions, falling all around me. I looked up and it was raining them everywhere from the trees, lit up by the sun coming through a clearing in the trees. It was almost magical.

Then I heard something, a deer twenty feet away that left this spot, looking back at me as if to say, "hey, that's my spot."

People, you are letting the world go by! Get out there. Beauty and peace is just around the corner. Explore, you will find it everywhere, in many forms you wouldn't expect.
