117.Hiking to Understanding
School and home, the only places where I am bound by certain rules and regulations. Teachers complaining and homework just flowing in day after day, my parents asking me to study and complete chores. I try to find space and time to run, some place away form this chaos, and i find myself signing up hikes on the weekends
Every time i find myself putting my name on a piece of paper hanging on the board with other papers looking for runners, or sending an email to the person on charge leading the hike i desperately wait for that day. Day and night hoping to run away. I run to be away from problems i face every day, problems i cannot keep up with, problem that just crush me and keep me broken. As i get out, and start walking i fee like my burden, my problems slowly disappear. Without the concern of what i need to do at home or school, i get my chance to see understand. Walking through the hills and mountains, surrounded by evergreen trees and changing landscape i am amazed a nature’s beauty. At every step towards by destination I promise to have left my issues back within the walls that haunt me, and enjoy and learn the lesson that nature has to offer.
As time progresses, I understand i have the time to reflect on my life, my past, present and my future. I understand that running is not the solution; i have to concentrate and focus on my understanding of the goals i plan to pursue. Watching the plants and animals that I perceive on my route, I feel that I can do better in life, by watching them as they try to survive amongst us invading their lands and kicking them out of their homes.
When I feel that I have satisfied my problems of running, it is understood that I must go on, face my challenges with pleasure and live on to meet the next day.
