When my brain gets full of the insanity, and I get to my quiet place, I catch myself thinking of my childhood memories. The constant security of the home, the absolute safety of it, the smells of my mom cooking a tremendous feast on their tight budget. My dad teaching me how to catch and throw a baseball, the smell of the evergreen trees. A simple walk where everything observed was examined and held in awe at it's complexity. The absolute ignorance of the world beyond the immediate neighborhood, taxes unknown, no pressure. The warfare between my brothers and I, running from lightning storms, and at night, snuggling with my mom and dad, watching the prime time comedy shows. Mainly though, I remember spending the entire day playing in a local creek, just dangling my feet in the swirling current, complete silence but the bubbling of the water. The air was so sweet.
