Part of exploration is realizing, acknowledging, and mapping the path that we have traveled. With that being said, a few weeks ago I went to Baltimore, MD, Washington DC, and Gettysburg PA for vacation. My plans were simple, spend time with a friend and see some of the sights. During my visit all of the sites including the tourist attractions were outstanding, however during my trip I found something that I have trouble describing, much less displaying. On August 17, 2011 I was sitting at a pool outside of Baltimore by myself while my friend ran some errands. The pool had a membership, and there were several people there, mostly families, and as the day went on it became more crowded. I brought a book, a journal and a pen, sunscreen, and a towel. I spent the day reading, lounging, and writing. When adult swim was called I would swim as well. As I sat there, going back and forth between reading and writing, this blissful peace came over me. The children were still as loud as ever, however I had this feeling that if the entire world came tumbling down, if my entire world came tumbling down that I would still be able to go on joyfully. I just sat there looked at my journal, wrote a few verses, and rested in the blissful peace of the moment, just delighted in the joys of the universe, the shinning of the sun, the gentle calm sway of the trees, the soft cool breeze. The World is Beautiful!
