Greetings! We’ve been to the continental divide, the midpoint of the US, and the equator in Ecuador. Last weekend we stayed at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA. After exercising I milled about the property. All was quiet at 5:00am as I moved through the grass of large open field. The sky was clear and more stars came into view than we can see in the city. I felt mindful of being a tiny organism in a much larger place. To one side was a lake and across the field a bank of pine trees. There I was, in what felt like the middle of the world. I liked it, all of it, the solitude, the openness, the quiet, and the haunting vastness around me.
It's times like these I cherish the most when traveling.
Look Around. Run.
Tom
