Inherent solaceI’ve been spending a lot of time wandering forests and trailing along the edge of lakes. It calls to me, whispering on the wind to follow. To drive aimlessly down back roads. To disappear into it's expanse. To get lost.
If only that were all we needed, it would be all I did. When I was young my father left me for the mountains. He’d say how they’d saved him. How they spoke to him and breathed in new life. I used to think he was crazy, just another story told by a man who’d lost his mind years ago to drugs, alcohol and his rage. Now, I get it. It pains me to admit I have anything in common with such a man. I guess I do. Maybe we would have been close. Would have had one of those enviable relationships you only see in films on TV. It’s a shame he was too weak to try and I was too angry to listen. - NMM
