The sound of the rushing water, that rang so clear in your ears, fades away.

The view in front of you diminishes into the back of your mind.

And even the motion of paddling the canoe becomes something you do as if in a trance.

You’re still awake, but upon reaching your destination you look at the time and wonder how this many hours have passed.

You only remember feeling at peace and feeling joy, but you were more asleep than awake.

Breath in, breath out.

You’re running along a very empty street through the woods.

The weather is warm, but fresh.

You’ve been running this route for a while but today is different.

As you stop focusing on the pain in your legs and the other thoughts in your head the concrete begins to feel softer and softer.

The line of trees becomes something you notice but aren’t aware of anymore and even the music playing in your headphones becomes unconscious noise.

Suddenly, the tree line vanishes. You look around and notice that you are almost back home.

You’re sweating and exhausted, and do not truly know how you got here, but you did.
