What a day :). Its a mixture of windy but not too much, Cloudy
threatening rain and rain but the misty type that clings but doesn't
look like its going to be up to much :). The sun is out and the skies
are a deep blue and border on black yet the sun still peeks through
:). OK i left this morning at 9:31 and 38 seconds and walked up my
street. I didn't have a good start to the day as at 6:17 this morning
i had the start of the headache which has followed me around till now.
I wandered up the street and passed Andrew from the fish and chip shop
with his son who were parked outside the shop talking to a lady on the
other side of the road :). Andrew waved and said hello and i had a
smile from his son ( Mark ) :). I passed the other shops who were
getting ready for the saturday trading before crossing the road and
passing the car park and bus stop. So far the weather was still dry
and this i felt was not only a good thing but as i didn't take my hat
or gloves today as it didn't feel that cold i was glad i stayed dry
for at least the first part of the walk :).
( Insert a small pause here while i drink my yummy mug of tea and have
a cigarette :) ).
As i was walking up the main road i had a sense that the world was new
and found myself searching for the one thing in the life i have that
could truly complete the circle of life ( That's of course if you
believe that the life you have is a circle and not a zig zag set of
lines bordering on the manic progression found in most entities ). I
walked with purpose and struggled to see the coming day and thus
followed the normal path which i have become accustomed. Stability is
the key to one of my walks and changing the path can lead to wondrous
things but also despair so caution is a watch word. I reached the
traffic lights and passed them as i walked to the bus stop and pub.
( Insert a small pause here while i drink my most yummy mug of tea :)
).
I walked down the hill and up the steps still searching in the back of
my thoughts and yet without the means to know why or how this search
would if at all end. I walked around the first round about and then
the second and a nice chappy waved me across the slip road challenge
:). I walked up the hill and crossed over the road and wandered down
the gap :). The first hint if rain started here and even though it was
very light and misty i could feel it encompass the surrounding
landscape in a torrent of expectation. It didn't need to act all
powerful and rain hard but it had the controlled mania of a man in a
room just silent enough to be relaxing but dangerous enough to have
the fear of the others in rapture and clasped in his hand. I crossed
the foot B thing and walked down the hill and over the road before
passing the cemetery where i had a little chat with the residents and
saluted twice as is the custom. I found a few words coming to the
front of my memory and sent everyone big mellow Squishes before
leaving. I passed a little old lady who was very sweet and smiled in a
down turned facial way i recognize and i smiled back even though i'm
sure she didn't see.
( Insert the finishing of my yummy mug of tea here :) ).
I walked back to the first round about and up the hill to the pub
where i had time to look at the motorcycles that passed me ( A Yamaha
FZR 750 i think was one ) and passed the pub in a casual manner.
Nothing much happened for a while but as i crossed the road at the
traffic lights a lady in a white Suzuki Vitara was parked and waiting
for the lights to change and i could see her face which was a pleasure
for me as she have very sweet eyes and i felt the need to look once
more to bask in the kindness of her comforting gaze. I walked around
the bend and passed the little old ladies house and yet again the
curtains were closed which had me worried as i passed her house later
today and wondered if she would be there. I sent her mellow Squishes
as i passed and then passed an older man in his late 70's who looked
into my eyes and i could feel his passing years of comforting
experience in the single glance he sent :). I smiled and carried on
walking down the main road. It didn't take long to reach the shopping
area and i saw the ladies in the hair dressers doing the " Make me
more beautiful than i already am " thing which at least gave me a
smile. I know this next line or two have nothing to do with the walk
but i need to say some thing. Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder....we have all heard this before yes ?. I find beauty in not
only the face but the soul of a lady and some times i think that the
make up and fancy hear styles take away from this which personally i
think is a shame. The most beautiful lady i ever saw had no make up on
at all and a simple long hair style which was framing her face and
made her look like the pure angel i believe she was. Her facial shape
was one that made my heart literally skip a beat and the kindness in
her smile took 20 years off my fear and anxiety. This to me is true
beauty. OK i'm back now...i needed to say some thing as this was
bothering me a little and its good to get it off my chest :).
( Insert a small pause here while i wait for the many ladies who now
find me so attractive to flood my e-mail box with passionate
replies.........)
( Insert time passing for a millennium or three here )
Damn......only 9.7 billion replies and all of them are for Viagra LOL.
I walked through the rest of the shopping area and saw very little of
interest as i stepped along the street with wonder in my thoughts. I
found the walk down the main road a little soggy as the rain which was
still light had got a little steam in its movement and found that if
it concentrated it could make a bearded chappie's beard rather drippy.
I didn't see anyone on the way down so i walked it in silent
contemplation as i watched the world drift by in a slow but none the
less meaningful manner. I walked through the first gap and looked for
my badge once again and still saw nothing that looked gold or glinted
so i moved on. I wandered up the back street and looked around as i
did so to see if there was anything i could type about on my return.
There was very little around and apart from passing a man with a limp
on my left before walking through the second gap i saw nothing note
worthy. I walked through the second gap and up the main road watching
the cars pass and spending a little time working a few things out
after my conversation at the cemetery and things made a little more
sense than usual so this was a positive thing for me :). It didn't
take me long before i had walked some of the way up the main road and
saw in the distance a very pretty young lady walking my way. I didn't
pay too much attention at first until she passed me and i saw her face
for the first time. I could see she had so much in her mind and
thought if she was single the world was a very strange place indeed.
She was very pretty and her eyes were soul bringers of the greatest
order. She could have stopped worlds with a glance and made the gods
weep for their loss in heaven ( Well as a metaphor at least ) This
made the next part of the walk delightful as i had some thing else to
think about apart from the weather :). I reached the end of the main
road before the shopping area and crossed over the road to my street
after a very enjoyable walk :). I walked down my street and was back
home feeling good about today and this was a very nice thing to feel
:). I hope you have enjoyed this weeks first walk and i hope to see
you all again soon :).
I was out for 42 minutes 52 seconds and 28 hundredths of a second :).

Is the despair so awfull that it not worth the risk? many time for me these
situation that cause me to despair, I would lead myself into believing that
they are not all that awfull, unfortunatly my thoughts always cycle back to
how awfull it really would be, but many of the time I went ahead and faced
the situation I never found them to be as awfull as I thought, sometimes
they can be a little unpleasent at time and I might even panic at time, but
never where they as awfull as I thought they might be, and sometime I find
them to be a truly wonderful experience

your description was awesome :-)
Thank you for always sharing your walks with me. They take me away...if
only for a while. I don't get away much, so I appreciate them. I seriously
think you should publish a book, Graff. I think there are many who would
love to hear what you have to say...I know that I do!!
Loving mellow squishes,
Gigglz
p.s. I hope you enjoy all the passionate emails in your inbox :-))

Its a wonder how people see different situations....some see the cup
half full....some see it half empty.....some cant find the cup at all
and some own the cup company :).

(((Mellow Squishes))) to you and all whom you Love :)
PS Of course some see the dimension the cup is in and which way its
facing and see the manifest possibilities there in and still wonder
what was in the cup in the first place :).

This was a beautiful post, Graffnoir. I like how you were searching
people's eyes to learn about them...even briefly. You are a special
person!
Take care,
