I have the most wonderful idea. It's so simple, so utterly simple, it seems unreal. Of course, by the time I could possibly use it, I will have forgotten it, but right now it seems... perfect.

I always imagined running or walking as a ways of getting somewhere, or getting somewhere so you can do soemthing. But, what if you jsut walked, for no other reason than to just... go. Doesn't matter where, jsut go, and walk and run, and when you get tired, sit by the side of the road, take a sip from your water, lay back and watch the clouds, and get back up and start walking when you're not tired anymore. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Just simply the most awesome idea ever?

It was so hard to think of it. Not the walking part, that was easy, jsut the whole general idea of walking to go nowhere, with no goal in mind, without any clue, purpose or idea. I mean, what do you do when you get tired? Do you jsut... sit there? What happens when you get bored? Bring a book? But there goes the simplicity of it, because then you need a bag to carry the book.

Part of the main reason why my walks ahve never brought me anything but pain is... I always want to go somewhere else, but I can never get far enough to get out of range of what I know. Because I have to come backto home base, and then when I start over, it's jsut that much more walking to get beyond where i walked the day before, except now my legs hurt from pushing myself to walk -that- far. And that is the whole reason why I never get anywhere. Because I always ahve to return. So... what would happen if I jsut... stopped by the side of the road when I got tired, and watched the clouds, or just sat there? Then got up and walked again. I would get somewhere.

What a thought. What an absolutely genius thought.
Wonderful. Perfect.
