Day 4
The past three days have been amazing, and have drastically soothed alot of my fears. I spent the second at a shelter with tons of interesting people, and hours upon hours of great conversation. With circumstances like this, an interesting bond is formed due to shared goals and exeriences, and as a result friends are made almost instantly. For example, tonight i rented a cabin with "boxelder" and a man named Charlie from London who i only met two hours before. For the better part of the night we talked about about His various travels throughout the world, His experiences with life, and argued a little over the topic of a Creator (God). Events so random, yet so rich with community and depth don't seem to occur so regularly in everyday life. From the small glimpse that i've had so far on the trail, I can't help but think this is what life should be like, and was intended to be like.
This trip so far has majorly exceeded my expectation. Although the terrain is intense, my body has been handling the mountains better than i had expected, and the scenery is amazing. I think I've seen more beautiful things in the last two days than i have in most of my life. Georgia is beautiful and so far, I've only seen 38 miles of it. But right now I'm just amazed that I'm here and have the opportunity to experience such wonderful and intense things. Even though alot of it is rough and overly exhausting, I feel truly alive and i can't wait to see where this period in life will take me.
I am truly thankful to be here.
