RE: It Ain't Easy

in #travel7 years ago

It's funny how life works @onceuponatime... even those of us who have deliberately chosen a path of independence (for me, through self-employment) seem to end up either being in a hurry, or wishing we could stop and just take some "unscheduled" time to explore.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I went back to my native Denmark for three weeks... and very deliberately had "no plan." The trip was significant because it marked the first time in almost 20 years we'd taken more than a couple of days to "do nothing." We didn't have to visit anyone; we didn't have to see something, or do something... and we weren't traveling with others who had a schedule. Frankly, it was an amazing experience... and-- getting back to the context here-- a reminder that we often spend so much of our lives rushing around.

Old Woman Bay looks like one of those spots where you can just set up camp and feel your feet reconnect with the earth below... let the eternal rush melt away.
