Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. Sorry about that. I made it to the 200 mile mark on the AT before I got off trail due to over use injuries and a poor choice of shoes destroyed me. The start of my journey of recovery and healing started the day I decided to walk the AT. I can say since then I have experienced a spiritual awakening and am no longer haunted by or am running from the experiences that I have had. My life is no longer concerned about running from or attempting to numb my traumas. My life is here now; as in the present, here; like right fucking now, here, and it is beautiful. I get to enjoy the now. I have laughed more in the last 5 weeks than I have ever laughed in my entire life. Life is good.
I am thinking about getting back on the AT this upcoming spring. And, if I do, I’ll continue blogging with the original intent of documenting my journey on the AT. Until then, I’ll use this blog as a depository of my short stories. Fictional, non-fiction, auto-biographical, biographical, who knows, I’ll never tell. I’m excited about this new journey. Off to the mountains we go, fuck the yellow brick road, we know that shit leads straight to hell. Spur that horse and make like a tree. Yippie ki-yay mother-fuckers we’re off to the races.
