Death Valley

Death Valley. It's 300 ft below sea level at it's lowest point in Badwater Basin. I did not realize it at the time but seeing the breathtaking sand dunes was something that I had written down in my bucketlist from 5 years ago.

I'm certainly not one that dwell too long into my emotional space but sitting atop dune peaks and contemplating about issues at a fairly low point in my life on the lowest point on Earth has to spark emotions long ignored and denied.

I don't know where I'll be in a couple of months but I know where I wish to be. I hope to succeed, to begin following a path that would lead me to the very reason I began walking this path. When you drop everything that you know to pursue something entirely different, especially one that I swore I would never do since I began drawing with crayons in gradeschool, I run the risk of disappointment---anger, when things don't happen the way I've visualized and imagined.

This is when one should step back, breath, invite nature in and put things in perspective. Sometimes waiting is part of the process.
