returning to the serenity and timeless beauty of fishbone lake after some time away. i feel as if all my energy has been siphoned off and consumed by the relentless need of others. with nothing returned and nothing promised. i wish i could just stay here for the next couple of months. watching the trees change into their fall colors. listening to the world quiet down in preparation for winter. and feel the life around me thriving; the lake restoring to me my sense of direction and purpose.
