My Calming place
I know that all of us have that one place that we go from time to time to just let go of the world around us. That one place as soon as we get there we feel our body just go limb from what every is worrying us.
I am going to share my calming place with you and show how relaxing it is to me. I know most people will not see it that way but have to remember I am just an old country boy.
Some people like the beach and some like the mountains. Myself I love the rivers and inland lakes where I come from. I love this little inland lake called upper Fisher. It is a place that most people do not even know about unless you were raised around my home town. You have to go up a long slue. It is not an easy place to reach but I have been going in there since I was just a boy of 6
We would go up about an hour before the sun set. We would just get our jugs out and bait them up and put them overboard. We then would just wait. I guess that is when I start to relax. I lay down in the bottom of the boat and place my hands behind my head as the last light of day is no more. I just look up a the sky while the stars start showing their selves. I start hearing the night sounds of the lake. The frogs calling for their mates. The birds roosting in tall trees. The gators moving through the darkness.
I would just lay there and wash the blanket of stars above me. The the moon starts to show its face as it light flows through the trees until it is in full view lighting up the sky.
I know at that moment my body is fully relaxed as I lay there in that boat until the sun comes up in the morning.
