The Walk


Today at break time I decided to walk to perimeter of the school, following the road around the whole school alone. It was very good I felt to walk alone for a bit, get a chance to think things through. Wonder about life. I let my feet pace themselves, let them walk fast if they wanted to, stop if they needed, without instruction, without constrictions. I was my own person, boundless, going where I wanted to for the first time.

The stretch of road span out before me making me visualise it as my life... the white lines directing me, flowing endlessly before me. I tripped over some stones in the way but for the most part, the significance of the walk was the best I could ever have.
