Irresponsible Irreverence

One Foot in Front of the Other ( May 29th 2025 )

With the spring weather, I've been able to take walks at night again. It's not much, just a two and a half mile loop, but it feels good to clear my head at the end of the day.

Throughout most of my life I've always found peace in a good walk. To have nothing but my thoughts for thirty minutes to an hour while my body moves on its own is something that I need, and I tend to forget that when I don't do it for a while.

It's when I most feel like myself.

It's strange, but when I do it I sometimes feel like my physical self doesn't exist. That I'm just thought in that moment. Other times, it's the opposite and I feel most connected to my body and it to the world around me. We're getting into some weird shit here, I know -- but it's also true.

I don't know if there was really a point to this ramble. Sometimes I'm reminded of who I used to be, and I realize how much of that isn't and still is who I am now. And I feel like it's only when I'm on walks like that where I truly can assess that kind of thing.

Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, who knows.

I feel like I've been falling behind on a lot of my creative projects lately, and I'm trying to get back on track. Progress is happening, but not at the rate I'd like it to. Sometimes my brain is like that I guess, and you can't squeeze water from a stone. But stuff will get done, and I'll see this stuff through.

In the meanwhile, I'll just put one foot in front of the other.
