Excerpt

This is an excerpt from a letter that I wrote to a dear friend of mine.

"...I really feel like I need to just get away for a while, away from all distractions, worries, and even people just to clear my head even if not to make a decision, but to figure out which direction to take that first step into. Unfortunately that is not such an easy thing to do, to just leave for a while and do some soul searching, in this day and age. I envy the guy in the movie Into The Wild (if you have ever seen it) in that he left everything behind and ceased to exist as far as the modern world was concerned. What a wonderful thing it would be, to leave everything even if only for a period of time and recharge, refresh and find yourself again deep beneath the layers of worry, burden, responsibilities, and everything that the world has covered you with over the years like layers of mud drying and becoming hard and more layers being added on until you are so hardened that the you that is underneath cannot even be seen anymore. To become new again, would be a wonderful thing."
