the wind at my back

I was talking to a friend the other night. We went to a show downtown at the Jinx here in savannah then wandered a while.

I've been thinking lately, what it is that drives me to wander like i do. The fact is.... there's just nothing like the open road. The rush of the wind, the people, the excitement and feeling of freedom. Nothing compares to it for me. But i've found, i like having a place that i fit into also. I've found that here in savannah for the first time. I'm so excited about hitting the road as it draws closer. It's looking like we'll leave in two weeks or so. But i'm also saddened and have this hesitation inside. I like it here. If i feel lonely, all i have to do is take a walk and i'm bound to see smiling faces of people i know. High fives from passing friends walking by and good conversation at the coffee shop. I fit here. It's nice to walk around town and go into any bar in town and they know you. know when you've had a bad day, know when you need a hug, or want a rematch in pool to redeem their pride. lol I would go so far to say that i'm starting to love it here. But im not content enough to stay. I'll be back i think. I will miss this place. But I need to go. I need to follow that breeze that keeps me alive.

The open road.

The wind.
