The Bottom Walk

Sitting inside on a chair, I hear a calling behind me.

I seek out a solo walk to gain a vision. 

This walk was a soft whisper calling to me, like that of a pointer finger motioning me closer with a wink. 

I look out the window and saw where the path would lead. 

Over the hill past the Cow barn, down towards the "Bottom" of the valley where the woods meet the creek and the property line.

Its called the 'Bottom" because its a part of the property that is at the lowest topographical point. Above it a giant hill. 

Nothing good comes from this place. 

In History it is the place of numerous tractor crashes that sent the tractor's and its' dragging wagon's tumbling down the hill. Injuring a few. Unknown fatalities. 

I was in an accident there myself years ago when I was a tween. Riding a three wheeler ATV I experienced a unexplained thrust from the vehicle and was send flying forward uphill towards a fence that acted as a ramp and sent me flying into the air, only to have the ATV land directly on top of me, knocking me unconscious. I awakened in major pain and to find bleeding from my ears. 

There is an old swimming hole here where the cousins used to go jump in to cool off during those hot summers days. Only to be bitten by both water snakes and snapping turtles. 

My aunt Linda is convinced there is a Gateway of some sort down at the "Bottom".

I wasn't scared or looking for trouble of any kind. Just naturally curious of what I would experience or see. So put on my boots ans headphones and headed down.

The Walk.

I noticed some down Trees from recent Storms.

Congested groups of Bushes.

Tangled Tree limbs.

Banks dug out from Storms.

They form a Channel for flood waters.

Unplugged ears for now.

I asked the Universe to show me something.

I follow a *Fools Path.

I come to a Downed Tree.

I'm attracted to a Tree I recognize from my Youth.

Climb its large broken branch.

 

The Hill takes my Focus.

 

I Climb the Hill, I'm about to Receive my Message.

Put your Music on Random, Pay attention to the Songs.

I start Dancing in the Wilderness.

It gets Blurry for a few minutes.

I ask the Woods to enter.. I do not receive permission.

These Songs/Artists are Interesting.

Songs:

Jesus Don't Want me for a Sunbeam. Some Beastie Boys. Some Beatles.

 Run This Town. Can We Get Together.  Embrace the Martian. Here Comes the Sun.

Some Chemical Brothers. The Way It Is. 311.

The Sun is Setting.

I Don't get it, what am I supposed to understand?

Then I Stumble upon this. A Dead Calf.

The Energy Shifts. Lyrics, "Get the hell out there".

Darkness Falls. I didn't bring a Flashlight, on purpose.

Have I caused this? Why was I meant to see this?

Still there is beauty.

I write this down in my Digital Notepad..

Making sense of my Hypocrisy.
Mirror my Mockery.

Getting Aristotle Off.

Milking Sugar from their Diamonds.
Abandon Reality, Escalate Fantasy. 

One Eye Open is a Safe Path. 

Fast and Steady Wins the Race.

Only Human. I'll show you the way outa this place.

Be Clever in full View, while they've Taken a Piece of you.

  Here Comes the Sun, in the Night.. .

*Fools Path is a Path in the Woods that is not necessarily a paved or traveled path or trail, but looks like one. Most likely a random opening to look like a Path, yet it beckons to be followed. -Jesse Carmo
