Naturally aimless

in voilk •  4 months ago

    If I was to select words to describe me and my life aimless would not be one of them; I have so many commitments to meet I'm forced to run a structured life most often and I manage to get a lot done because of it; if I was not systematized, structured and process-driven I'd not be anywhere near as productive and considering my commitments, professional and personal and their importance, it's not a condition I'm willing to allow.

    Part of my structure allows time to be aimless though and those moments are not something I'll compromise either as it's those which feed my soul and provide emotional and mental energy to attend to everything else.

    I'm aimless in many ways but my very favourite is being aimless in nature; a garden, the woods, on the beach, a mountain trail heading up to the summit, laying in a meadow with my head on my partners lap falling asleep to the sounds of nature around me and in many other such places. It's there that my aimlessness does me the most good, where it seeps into me and heals what society, work and a busy lifestyle takes away; it's there my mind walks aimless paths just as my feet do, and where the slow movement of nature cradles me, nurtures and rejuvenates.

    Most recently I enjoyed some aimless moments in a beautiful location, partly structured garden and partly natural woodlands, and I'll be going back soon. I was alone, my guy was away working, but I couldn't resist the drive out there and the opportunity to steal some aimless moments. He was a little jealous when I told him on the phone later that evening, he loves being aimless also, but I promised to take him soon and even suggested he could make a picnic for us - I was being cheeky...but meant it - to which he agreed as I knew he would.

    We're not planning it for this weekend as aimlessness isn't possible due to some other commitments however it'll happen soon and until then I'll content myself with my aimless wanderings of a few days ago.
