Mountain Musings

So I spent this weekend backpacking in the Harper's Creek area of the Wilson Creek Wilderness. I needed the weekend out much more than I thought I did. I've spent much of the past couple of months debating where "following your heart" falls into God's plan. It's very hard to feel. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone. Our hearts have this intense depth and our heads are constantly trying to censor this. Anyway, back to backpacking. This weekend, amongst all the green, the sunshine, the silly campers, the waterfalls, and the views, I realized that I've been stressing on how to cope with my heart and my practicality. But sitting in the woods with the bugs crawling over my feet it became clear that I need to just let it go. I need to let all of my stress go and just LIVE. This is hard to do, but I think it's important. When we spend all of our time thinking, we never do anything. It's time to start living again. For me at least...
