"A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself
than a hundred years of quiet introspection."
Patrick Rothfuss
Deeper into my darkness, I did fall. Without physical touch, connection, or encouragement, I slowly lost all sense of self. I traveled back to trusted friends who once reflected my worthiness and kindness. They held me in hugs, shared memories and inspired me to move back into the light.
During the hours I spent driving towards kindred spirits, I examined my self ... perspective, opinions, observations ... no longer trusting my ability to balance. Locking into the eyes of others, I could wallow in their goodness and be reminded of my own.
As I slowly drove home, recognizing the trees, birds, and nature's gifts, I felt my lovely self finally healing and believing that I could make a difference once again. Passions resurfaced, projects fell into place, and my heart grew strong. I will be forever grateful to those who let me stand in their presence, connecting into the existence of one.
