Pondering

The list of subjects to reflect upon grows.  It is lunchtime and I find myself staring out of my new office's windows towards the west hills.  There are so many things on my prayer list, I do not know where to begin; one of those things being transportation to and from the trailhead; another being healing for my uncle who is going through a hard time; yet another is for my sister's recovery from heart surgery; and yet one more that comes to mind is my friend Jenny's home she is trying to purchase.

These two weeks will be like no other, I can tell that now.  My pervious hikes in the desert were linear to what was happening in my life at the time; like a vacation vs. a severance package. 

I have lost the perspective I clung to so tightly in the past and I do not like that.  I desire the longing I used to have for the out of doors as the gym is a poor substitute.  Hopefully, these two weeks will spark the hunger I used to have, I just wished Curly was along for the walk.
