Enlightenment

...

Another day spent wandering these hills and valleys that are now a part of all that I call home.  In meditation.  In meditation of what is and what will be.

And so I wandered off, after having two very strong cups of coffee to parts unknown.  Picked up my camera and trusty map and away I went - wandering back towards the ocean that soothes an eternity of unanswered questions.

I do love it here.  Visually, it is entrancing - from any which way, any direction that I choose to head, the vistas are full of views that delight and excite.  And so today, unwinding a trip from a previous day, but in another direction.  And through a town of significant native american lineage -  seeing and being seen by these locals.  Remembering the sense of once again being a stranger in a strange land.

And heading for my true north - the ocean - the sound of the eternity of the waves.  Winding, plunging into the deepest of darkness - most suddenly and without warning.  And then, just as suddenly being cast back into the tops of the mountains, is the bright sun shiny light - blinking and praying that the pavement would still be under my wheels heading in the same direction that I remembered from just a moment ago.  

Because, suddenly, most suddenly, I cannot see a gosh darned thing.
