I Took Off On A Journey

One day, I went looking for me, so I took off. On foot. I took a journey and I ended up right here. In a chair with a giant window in front of me and the sun shines and the kids pant. With my Girl, Tammie ann behind me somewhere. Doing what she does, so near to me. So far away. She still, is right here.
So I took off on a journey, barefooted, more than once. It's not always what it is made out to be, being bare on the feet. Yin and Yang. Sand between my toes pulls the soul closer to home than burned feet on hot pavement. If this sounds like experience speaking it is. It IS.
If there is one thing I think I know I've learned, It is that everything always sound better in theory. It is easy to have the "the whim, the idea, the brilliant plan, the road trip, the mini-vacaaaay..." wtf ever, that is the easy part. The fun part. Damn, the hard part is leaving and coming back.
Now if I dare say I am lucky enough to think there is two things I think I have learned, the other would be...THERE IS NO COMING BACK.
