"Let's not travel to tick things off lists or collect half-hearted semi-treasures to be places in dusty drawers in empty rooms. Rather, we'll travel to find grounds and rooftops and tiny hidden parks, where we'll sit and dismiss the passing time, spun in the city's web 'til we've surrendered, content to be spent and consumed. I need to feel a place while I'm in it."
-Victoria Erikson
Yesterday my friend and I decided to go biking in one of our nearby state parks.
I loved just being outside and being active. It was a great way to get rid of stress and de-connect from all the technology and problems that might be constantly on your mind.
Later in the day my friends and I went to a screening of a documentary called "The Search for Freedom." It was all about different action sports and what the professionals of that sport get from their experience doing what they love. It covered everything from base jumping to surfing to mountain biking. It was interesting seeing people do crazy things on bikes after my day doing a much less dangerous version of the activity. If it's playing in a theater near you it might be an interesting thing to watch. The quality of the footage was insanely good.
