Somewhere along the way, my 80-day summer writing series turned into a 90-day writing series. Not sure how that happened. Originally, I imagined this summer writing series would enter a 120-day process of three intersecting wilderness journeys. I would journal part of the 90-day WildFit Challenge and the month that followed, as I work to shift a challenge into a lifestyle.
At some point, I forgot that the last ten days of the WildFit challenge were the first ten days of the third Wilderness journey.
Out of curiosity I checked the 80th post. It was the New Haven Pizza Jaunt on Labor Day, an apt ending to a summer writing project, date-wise, and a curious ending topically.
I've been caught up in a flow, and allowed the river to carry me. Now, on day 84, I am wandering around the question of duration. I'm also realizing that sometimes we can be in the Wilderness so long, we may not quite get that we've come out of it. I think about the landscape and it makes sense that, unless there's a sign or a river or an oasis, you might not quite realize you've reached the end.
The Green Wilderness is a daily writing practice that opens a landscape of discovery into my own human experience.
