Serenity

Sitting in silence i listen... to the birds, to the wind blowing through the trees, to the waterfall not 100 feet from where i sit. Listening in silence to all around, thoughts filling my head; thoughts about life, about growing up, about the future, about everything. Nothing bothers me as i sit here, propped up against a tree at the bottom of a waterfall, deep in thought. It is the first time in a long time that i truly feel able to relax. I realize that this will be my place, my new thinking place for when the real world gets rough and hard to handle, i can just make my way to this place and escape for a brief while; a place to leave the my world behind and enter a new world that consists of me, mother nature, and a superior omnipotent power. I think about my conversation the other night with kiki, about what she was telling me about her experiences with her past relationship and i think about what my friend brandon has been telling me for a while. Suddenly i tell myself, "it's ok... it happened and it's done now"... finally my mind seems to be at peace with what has happened.
