Have I really come this far? Today was epic, longest mileage of my journey so far. Tomorrow, upon leaving the church of the mountain hostel I will cross a bridge, leaving Pennsylvania behind and entering into New Jersey, its literally like 150 yards from my tent. I can't believe I've gone through 3 states in under 3 weeks. Today felt great, nothing can stop me now. I'm starting to see clearly the destination before me, but I haven't lost sight of this amazing journey. Money is more than tight but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I don't need town ventures to finish this quest.
I love and yet I yearn for it as well. Distance does a lot of funny things to people, not sure how much of that is good. The spirits of several people keep me company at all times, I don't have to name you. You can't help but feel something spiritual out here, whether you believe or not. It moves through these mountains, a great force to be reckoned with. Being alone out here makes you look deep inward, brings the personal battles right to your face, and forces you to deal with them, any lesser person has dropped off by now, this is beyond a physical journey, its inside you. Its inside me. Live vicariously through me.
