How to find a foxhole
We have returned from a walk on the beach. I have no idea whether or not we walked a long distance or for a long time. My sense of scale is very inefficient. I could tell that I was on the beach but as for how far away things might be or how long I was walking in my own personal fog to others. Is it a relaxing thing to do? I have been told that it is. That many people walk just to relax. Here is the catch once you lose that sense of scale you have no idea how far you are from your destination or from your point of origin. In fact that has become my greatest dissatisfaction with the whole act of going for a walk. Even on the beach I am unable to determine when I should turn. If you hear that someone was found walking all the way around the island you will know who to blame. I do not want to become a local legend. It is true that on the beach you will not find many hills or valleys. You could get very wet just stick to the left step to the right. We are back now had some cold juice a new water bottle. It turns out that I left my trusted flask at home yesterday. I guess that I am ill equipped to set off to see the world. One of the videos that we often watch comes with a small song. One more step around the world I go. Not where my head is at right now. Instead I will go back to watching videos of Finnish folk music. A treat in a troubled world. The news tells me that we are on the brink of another major war and frankly I do not want to know about it. I will wait until the bombs begin to fall around me and then I will find a foxhole. Nothing to do with the foxes and their holes at home.
