October 23 Daily Entry - Step One

I took a first step today. I went back to the trees. To a place that is quiet and secret and secure.

I told nobody where I was going. I went alone so that no one could have access to me. I went undercover into the city--slinking around and dodging eye contact. I smuggled myself into the secret corner where only a few know they can find peace. I sat, escaping notice, feeling the shelter of the trees.

This is not everything. It is not promised to me. It is neither habit nor routine. But it is possible. And I must make a promise to myself that it is frequent and reliable.

Love.
