solitude.

tadaaaa. the #best09 today is :
December 8 Moment of peace. What was the quality of your breath? The state of your mind? How did you get there?

easy peasyy. i know this one no doubt. well, there are 2 things which is my answer, but they both involve summer time. and they both involve my favorite things.
the very very first one which is my all time favorite thing in the whole world where i feel like i dont have a care, like i am the only one there, like nothing could ever go wrong and there is not a bad thing in the world....canoeing on the delaware. but more specific would be when i wake up and get out of the tent and see the fog on the river and you know that the sun is there, but you just can't see it yet and the fog is rolling down the river and all you can hear is birds chirping and the sound of the river flowing over the rocks. sighhh. that is where i want to be right now. i mean, if you know me, you know things can go wrong on this trip, but it is the one time during the day when i know everything is okay. and all i care about is that moment. i just feel so peaceful. like i can not even describe this feeling to anyone. it is just my favorite moment. and my moment of peace. and i get to experience it 3 mornings in a row one time a year.

then the second one is when i am sitting in a sailboat, maybe even the new baby..haha, all by myself and there is just so much wind and you are tacking across the lake and there are no other boats and no other worries. it is just you and the boat. it is perfect. those are the two moments where i am just in complete peace. and yeah, when i am doing both i am usually not totally alone, but at the river in the morning i always get away for a few minutes and take it all in. and when i am sailing, i just feel so at peace with myself. and i feel so calm. and i just i don't know...

i dont know if i really answered that question the way other people do, but to me those are the two most peaceful moments.
