a date with the rocks
i went to joshua tree on a whim i woke up hearing a voice in my head “go to joshua tree” and i said to myself out loud “i am going to joshua tree today”
this is how most of my trips happen
i was a bit daunted by the drive getting there i doubted if i was really going to enjoy it even if i knew i was going to
i set the destination to my favorite spot in the park it’d been 4 months since i last went there back in june
i got to the spot went inside the rocks immediately, felt at home at peace at ease i was in my element “i am happy” made me smile
i stayed there as long as my heart and soul needed me to when i was satisfied, i came out and explored the surroundings i then drove to the nearby trail and found a rock to sit on to enjoy the sunset i lay on the rock i carefully chose i sat i closed my eyes and opened my heart and my palms i saw a green heart in the direction of the setting sun i absorbed the energy from the rocks through all the touching surfaces on my body this is why i came here and this is why i will be back i felt empowered energized recharged
“i am home”
after the sunset, i drove west toward the remaining sunlight cruising slowly through the joshua trees it felt like they were sending me off on a good vibe sky turning from indigo to creamy orange it’s beautiful it always makes me tear up, the colors by the time i reached the exit, the sky was dark it was nighttime
the drive home felt quick i should do this more often.
