i just got back from an amazing walk. the kind that takes you just as much as you take it. no destination, just walking to wherever you end up. i walked along the pond near white gravenor, i sat by a tree on copley lawn, i appreciated for the first time just how pretty the main lawn is at night with its lamps twinkling among the trees and stone buildings. the air was perfect, crisp with just the right breeze . . . it almost felt like the ocean. i didn't have to care about anything, i just moved through the night and through campus, feeling . . . light. and then all of a sudden i was back at my building, walking along my hall, moving toward my door. without even really knowing how i got there.

i'm sure i'll be made fun of for this post tomorrow. for being too cheesy, or maybe accused of being high. but for tonight, i'm relaxed and content.
