Why do you always tend to be terrible? Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have a thing to do with Valentine's Day, but for whatever reason, Feb. has historically been a month I could well do without. It's too bad, I actually like the sentiment of Valentine's Day. More importantly , Lupercalia, the pagan Feb. holiday. Less about "love" and more about primal need. But I digress...
This particular year I find myself lost. Maybe that's not the right word, as I know where I am, I just seem to be in a loop with it. Walking, no, running this same damned trail over and over. In the rain. I'm tired. I want to rest. I want shelter. But I've been tricked too many times by the offer of a warm fire that I just keep running.
