into the woods

I'm going out to the woods soon.
I'm going to learn silence again. I'm going to untangle myself from all the distractions I am so adept at entangling myself in.
I'm going to the woods to find Jesus, and only him. Not my own version, or anyone else's, just him- who he really is.
I am going so that my eyes will be reawakened to wonder, and I can stand in awe of the one who can speak truth into existence.
I am going so that I might remember, away from the chaos and deceptions of life, why I am really here, and what this life means. I am going to rediscover a story that I am entwined in, that grows around me like the ivy climbing toward the clouds on the trees.

Maybe that's a lot to be going to the woods for.

especially in 3 days.
well.
an adventure. even a small one.
