Walking Away

Have you ever felt like walking away? 

Today I did.

I put on my new country walker shoes and took off down my gravel road.

No cars past.

I saw no people.

I thought about life, God, and who I am.

I thought about blogs. 

I thought about the things I talk about in my blog.

I thought about the things other people talk about in their blogs.

I saw butterflies.

I smelled clover.

I realized why Thumper only wanted to eat the blossoms.

I wished I had my camera.

I picked some flowers.

I wondered about life.

I walked back into my house.

Got a glass of tea.

Walked back out.

I don’t always have to be working.

As much as I would love to live in an organized house, I don’t and never will.

Overwhelm threats me.

Frustration knocks on my door.

I have a story to tell, God is calling me to tell it.

What if no one is listening.

Then I will tell it to the butterflies, and the flowers will grant their applause.
