Day 268: Crosscountry Driving

It's been a long time since I've just sat in a car and watched the landscape pass by out the window. Thinking time. Deep thinking time, but also downtime. Time for just staring. Time to recharge. Remember. Recall. Retrace. Time to project. Predict. Time to just be. As complicated as life is, farmland and sunshine and long roads and cows standing still in contentment remind me how easy life can also be.

I always wanted to take a bus across the country, just to watch and let go of the responsibilities of the road. Being behind the wheel is different. I'm grateful for this time in the passenger seat. Sometimes it's good to be the one being carried.
