I feel it in the pit of my stomach: the desire to run. Away. Towards. Beyond everything that I know right now.
It’s the desire for adventure, for new places, for new connections. It’s a wish to fall in love at first sight again. To be redeemed, to be blessed.
It’s stirring in me, like a storm wind waiting to erupt and blaze its path across the countryside. And when it’s this elemental, it cannot be denied.
It just don’t know where I might be swept away to yet.

i know that feeling. it’s beautiful. let it carry you.
Oooh, being swept away sounds like such an adventure! I am getting more settled in than ever – which is also scary! It must mean more travel is needed to keep whimsy alive around here!
I think I kind of have that feeling on a daily basis, just not so extreme.
I hope you get swept away somewhere exciting!
You have put the feeling that has been building inside of me into words. It’s been a year since I lost my husband and that feeling of running away from and to something is exactly what I am experiencing now. I am looking forward to where it will take me. I am ready for the adventure!
