This Rut - Cynthia Ramos (inspiring books for teens TXT) 📗

One

day I was pondering thoughts of the world and how it cycles back to me. In a department store parking lot. Swirling suggestions of how do I continue to get myself into these ruts. There, waiting in the parking space I began to clean out the car, discarding old wrappers, receipts, matching cd's, gathering old stuff and finding a place for it. That is when I saw a map. My curiosity lead me to open the Oklahoma state map and read it. I was surprised at all the information. The diversity of the state, towns, mountain ranges, and state parks. I counted 48. The adult side of me said "This would be a great bucket list." The nature born adventurous inner child resonated loudly in my head "Let's GO!!!". This is my rut. The battle is with myself to make challenges happen. To find one's balance? The cleansing of the old layers is great beginning. Today, I have seen 40 of the now 50 state parks in Oklahoma. It has been a world of new adventures. It's the earth, wind, and sky that lead me on this quest. For each time I travel it is a new discovery of myself. I learned to be adventurous take the short cut and pick a harmonious partner for travel. Sometimes the path may be treacherous but in the end the beauty is well worth it. Exchanging roles is always a good plan to learn navigation. One's knowledge of interaction is the best discovery of all.
