Driving Around

I had an absolutely tremendous weekend.  But I was struck by one hour...

Have you ever driven around, sun shining in, the lane covered by trees, music coursing through your body?  I felt alive.  I felt like my wanderlust had, only for a moment, been completely fulfilled.  I had reached that pinnacle.  All I wanted to do was to continue driving for hours.  I didn't need a direction.  I had my thoughts and my songs and my future ahead of me.  It was both perilous and comfortable.  It was dangerous and ill-informed, and yet the best decision I had made in a long time.  I got to that infinite feeling.  I knew what it meant, again.

That infinite feelings creeps up every now and again, serving to remind me that life is to be savored.  Live how you want, according to your own rules.

My rules had me driving around.
