I found it interesting as I twisted the cable around my hand into a tight little knot. This simple act had been so deeply ingrained into my muscle memory, that it took no thought at all. How many cables had I done the same act to? For a moment I was brought back to Gilford High School, where I worked my summers, even before the kayak shop... Then suddenly I was brought back into the reality that was today. I was packing my desk, for terms that I'm not at liberty to say. I looked down at my phone, reading the text from my Mom to inform me they were now on the road. I peered across the room at Benoit, laughing and saying some goodbyes. So much can change in such a short amount of time, and today I found myself at yet another tipping point in my life. Yet it wasn't just a tipping point for me, but for many and nothing would be the same after today. For better or worse, certain things had been set into motion and now were irreversible.
This road is familiar to me now, while you can never tell where it's going, sometimes you have to have faith that it's leading you in the right direction. Sometimes the bumpiest segments can lead to the best places. The Knees have left Moultonborough, my parents have started their journey west to Arizona, Benoit has finished his internship and starts his studies once more, a friend from Burlington has decided to make a big move, and as for me... well I was really hoping I could be writing some answers down here, but I can't. I still have many unanswered questions, but a hidden trail has opened on my path... and for now I'm hoping to take it a while to see where it goes...
