chaos vs. serenity

(excerpt from journal entry, written Sat., Oct. 25, 2pm, Jay Cooke State Park)



What is it that draws me to places like this? Maybe it's the overwhelming feeling of inner peace. Sitting in the sun on what could be our last warm day of 2008 (it's supposed to snow tomorrow) I feel such a wonderful freedom. When I do things like this I feel incredibly fortunate.

I find that I am drawn to peaceful places in search of a balance between my chaotic routine and the serene natural world. I am able to recenter myself here. I recognize what's important and everything comes into focus.
