The road may be getting to me, but not in a bad way. Although it is a rainy day in Newport, OR., I am full of life for the experiences to come. If only one could find a full time job on the road, conversing with randoms and attempting to fulfill ridiculous thoughts - like living for a week off free condiments and grocery store samples.
I feel like a rich homeless person, a wanderer, a hippy, an intellectual escapee...
It seems the road can take my head out of its usual space and force it to form something else out of this world. Each time I've let go on an adventure I've learned, been inspired, and come home changed in some manner or another. I realize how much the world has changed in ten years - or is it just me that has changed so much?
I've gone from finding 'god' in everything to finding myself in a moment of an evolutionary cycle, experiencing the world that is now. The world seems a much better place without this religious conditioning, and seeing many of the places I have in 2006 and noting the difference in my thoughts has been quite a pleasurable journey.
I admire things for what they are now, without having to divulge some deeper spiritual meaning attributed to a "creator" of the world. It's as if exploring has cleared my mind, and the woods and I have hashed it out with this so called god. My mind is now a free liberated place to experience the people of this world through a lens that doesn't involve me trying to figure out if that person is going to heaven or hell, and acting accordingly based on that judgement. Much more of the now is viewable without the biblical parameters placed on us by ancient storytellers who for some reason, are still pretty famous.

So we continue like a tree; growing with age both its roots and its limbs outward in exploring the air in its surroundings.
