This is just a start

As I look from the grass I can see where I am, where I've been, and in a sense where I'm going. It's about time I do this so let's get this baby off the ground. Shall we?

So I’m lifting off from my town I see reasons to leave, more to stay. Parents keep me here and so do others as well. I thank them, and the Lord, for keeping me. Even on crazy Saturday, Nomad Day I call it. I look all over this place in West Springfield and take a look at my parents place in Ludlow. Making sure everything is ok there. I just left there a while ago, but I was there earlier doing the same thing I am now. Laying flat up on my bed and then sitting up somewhere looking out through the trees into the sky. But it was dark, as it is now dark, and there were stars. So now I'm high about Mass. and looking all around New England. It's mostly quiet and peaceful. I like nights like this, when it's quite. I'll get to my beer later. That tells me that I have accomplished something.

Yes this is not only a step, but an accomplishment as well. You'll tell God that I got this far for only in my dreams I could do this, but now the ball is outstretched into this thing. The world will have to read it from here. I've read many and transcripts too many to name, but I will and will put them here. I will footnote often and give thanks and praise to those that have come before me and have scribed once and some often. Some without thinking as yes this I am trying to do. There are no rough drafts here. Cause the Rough is the Final post here. I will let you know if I edit, I will let you know my thoughts, plans (if any), and my moves, actions and reactions. But they’re maybe not all commented and written here, but I will share as much as I can. I will elaborate on things that made need explaining. Even the editing I feel should be explained. Upon corrections in grammar, mechanics, and spelling, they will be listed. So back to the ether sphere.

So I'm above New England and the air is cooler now. Perfect for post Halloween weather. I look to the south where I laid many tracks down. Florida, Alabama, Georgia. Seeing if there is anything for me now. I don't see a need, but feel a thankfulness and appreciation of where I've been. I'm moving up a little higher and looking to the west, Texas, and seeing some friends. Maybe friends I should have hung onto. Continue the view to the west to Arizona, California. Not much for me there ... but was there. Turning up north, maybe some trek time in Montana and Wyoming. Moving back to the east and I see the mid-west. A pause and reflect of a loss love, but hopeful of love again. True love and the right person? There's no sense in giving up hope. If that's all you got then keep it, but if it keeps the heart afloat, give it that one little thing. If it's false don't try to fool it. Things will figure themselves out. So I'm way up and looking down on things. See Chicago and some sites. The lakes even as I give one last glance at Wisconsin some other sites to kid myself. Turn back to the sky, black with stars, too beautiful for words. This site truly worth them all and more. So at least we know what were after, don't we. The best of all possible worlds. Between heaven and earth. Why not make it so. So things are down for a bit. Things are down everywhere. This is just a little escape here. This doesn't have to be a separate account, a vent even. No this is part of the piece.

So I'm looking up to the heavens and at the top north of the globe. Too beautiful not to recognize, too precious not to keep, too lasting not to want to stay. So let's stay and give this a try. A real faithful try. I could come here again. I could come here often. Something tells me that I should. So as with any type of inspiration, this one that light a fire will keep bringing me back, here. And I will give you my views from the place in the grass, or on the roof, or from my window, but I'll be mostly outside when this stuff comes and I will come running back in here to tell you about it.

I'm coming back down now, a little sad of what I left behind, but I will return, you can bet on that. No promises, but it looks like I will. I hope I gave you a little vision, a hope, I dunno, something to hold you over. I'm easing into my body again and welcoming it back thanks for taking the time away. This mean more than you know. So let's do this again shall we. Thanks. And thanks for reading and listening.
