My inner light.

I decided to go for a walk on a trail a few miles from where I lived. I have always loved going for walks; maybe because it has always brought me a sense of peacefulness when I needed to step away from the compact space inside that house. Those walks have always given me room to focus on the world outside by allowing me to just listen to the soundless roar, something that I knew was always present. It has always been a break from the conversations that took place inside that house, always when I am alone. I am always alone.

When I reached the trail, I began to walk eastwards, towards a path that appeared to be clear, with rocks that formed a barrier along either side of the sandy course. The trees were tall with bright green leaves, unmasking another sign that it was Spring. The sky was a clear, light blue with only a few clouds in sight. The warm glow of the sun touched my face and shoulders as I stood there for a few moments to allow the silence around me to fill my mind. I was again alone with nature, awakening my inner light to persuade the doubt that has soaked my temper to surrender.
