on the beach

under the stark

silhouettes of trees

sandy feet

sea salt breeze

hard to be mad

at nights like these

hold my tongue

my thoughts

held

to the roof of my

mouth

ideas flow

out with the

tides

second

fourth

chances

damn lucky some part

of the world's

on my side

feel that spin

gravity's hold

takin' my feet

terra firm

planted

hopefully stayin' put

after flyin' off

too many times before

brought down to earth

!¡\¿<< H   A

but the crater

ain't too deep

climbing out

a mangled

heap

but still hobbling along

still howling with lune

singin' that wolf song

reminds me of myself in 2005 in Daytona Beach, FL. I was drinking like a fish for a year beforehand, I escaped my parents house (I was 20 at the time) by maxing out a credit card I had forgotten I had on a plane ticket to Daytona Beach, and roamed the beach daily (12+ mi walked per day) just drying up in the sun. I drank every so often, but couldn't afford it, panhandling wasn't worth it. Penninless and itemless I just drank water and felt the liberation of no things, no schedule, no cares, no destination, just me me me. Probably one of the happiest times :)

there's a blessing and a curse

with ultimate freedom

you can embrace the chaos

or lament the loss of comfort

right now i'm forced to camp

due to the stringent requirements

of the court in this county

i have to take a breath test

two! times a day

one at 7am and the other at 6pm

due to the weekend bus schedule

i wouldn't make it on time tomorrow

so i'm having to camp downtown

i'm embracing it though

it's actually a nice, quiet spot

here on the beach

but the rain is definitely

soaking my tent

thankfully i had a raincover

or i'd be drenched

Definitely try to enjoy it. I remember a guy named Vincent in Daytona, and he was always under the Main St Pier with his bike, Krispy Kreme donuts and Jack Daniels, and he'd say "this is it! Just camping out without a care in the world!" I agreed, and could tell that he could have a different attitude towards it, but he was positive and making the most of it. Good on him, definitely cheered me up on hard days back then.

wolfinthewoods

definitely

mindset is everything

although...it was cold as shit

last night

going to have to get another blanket

or two, especially since i have two

more nights

just waking up now to the sound of gulls

and the tide going out

time to go check in with those bastards

what coast are you on? if it's SE, time to move out soon, hurricanes will be coming up soon. I think Texas/Gulf Coast was hit by one not long ago. And yea, camping surprises me with the cold, back when I camped. wx forecast would say low of 40, and I'd wake up to 25 degrees at 6AM.

stay safe! :)

wolfinthewoods

west coast <best coast>

luckily

probably about 45

maybe 50 last night

but it was nice waking up

fog obscuring the beach

and rolling in from the bay

i loved this morning
