THE BEGINNING~ In order to understand where I am today and why I have such a "wanderlust" you should understand where I came from. The original inspiration came from a boy who meant a lot to me a long time ago, my first close friend. I had a memory of this and wrote it down. I think this was my inspiration. He used to always mention wandering.
The original wanderer.
As I looked up from the event at hand I saw him moving. He was moving
slowly, skirting the edge of the meadow-keeping his distance from us.
I knew the man, I saw the sun hit his hair, illuminating him within the
trees, his captors. Aspens always giving away locations with the quaking of
their leaves. He had been discovered by me. I watched him walk through the
sun, through the trees, away from view.
Knowing this man it seemed fitting seeing him quietly appear and then
disappear. Seeing him walk among nature, absorbing every ray of light,
every hint of the breeze. He seemed at home there. I couldn't see his face
but I knew he was smiling.
Seeing him in that manner was very significant to me. He was special to me
and I knew I witnessed him when no one else had, in a way I shared his walk
in the woods that day.
He is still there-still in my dreams, still walking in the sun, among the
aspens. Although his life has changed since then I like to believe he still
enjoys a walk like that.
Wandering, he used to call it. He likes to wander.
