2021 Roadtrip I, Chapter IV

This is where I was catching that early morning light on arriving.

I was just starting to explore the parks and the river, taking in parts of the overall scene, the trees. At the beginning of a day like this I wonder what’s in store, what’s going to unfold, and I start taking stock of life as a snapshot, as it was when I left home, as it looks from a distance. The things unresolved, the things I am waiting to move forward. The achievements and dissatisfactions. The hopes for the what might happen next.

Then there comes this step of, at this point on this one suspended day for wandering, of being with myself, of having to accept myself as I am at that moment. I am really hoping for the next trip that I am in a position to accept myself a little bit more, that I’ll be able to see a difference in my grounding, in my attachment to who I am becoming. That things will be more visible.

I love the greens, and I love the light. There is something of me in all of these pictures, something of myself I recognise in the make-up of the universe around me. A sense of a one-ness with all things and a drawing in of all the beauty in what surrounds me.
