Of course no one understands it. Then again, neither do I. Weird to say that but it is true. I feel compelled to hike all of the 11 National Scenic Trails but I have no clear idea why. Nature. Being free. Living on a clock that runs on the Creators schedule. To have the ability to enjoy life now, not living with regret that I did not do it.
Some days I want to go back to being an educator. Some days I want to work in the nursing field. Some days I want to sit in my living room with my husband and watch a little TV. Some days I want to go shopping. Some days I don't want to get out of my PJs. But Everyday... Everyday I just want to be walking the trails. Ambling along at my own pace, camera close by and at the ready. Birds, bears, marmots, wind, rain, sunshine, petroglyphs, decaying buildings, rusting farm equipment used and forgotten, trail registers, hiker art, conversations with strangers about everything and nothing. Sprawled out on a rock beside a creek soaking my feet in the cool water or huddled under a tarp waiting out a passing thunderstorm.
Up to this point I have a dream and it is set into motion. In 5 months I will begin by setting foot in Yosemite and traipsing the path towards the John Muir Trail.
If you don't chase your dreams, then you will never catch them.
