Another walk around the park

Surprise, surprise, I went on another walk during golden hour. These have become my favorite things to pass the time, and I look forward to doing them almost every day. yesterday, the moon was out earlier, and you could see her almost all day, so it was nice to be able to see the moon rise and the sun set during my walk. During these walks, I like to try and plan. So yesterday was planning the Fall semester and all of the things I'm gonna have to run around and do to keep busy. I was able to get a pretty good headway on what my plans were going to be like, so the rest of my walk was just enjoying the weather and the sky. I ended up stopping at one point to sit and look out to the water, which wasn't really there cause the tide was so low, which was surprising because the last time I wrote, the water was super high. But it was still pretty to look out for, there was a lot to look at, and it was different from what I usually look out for. I watched birds walking out and picking up shells and oysters, or whatever those little blueish shells are, I think they're oysters. But after a while, I wanted to walk up to the bridge again, so I did and looked back over that and watched some of the water move. Then I did kind of a back and forth kind of deal and walked over a mile just listening to music and thinking about life and everything I was happy about, which has been a lot. I read The Sorrow of Love by Yeats that night and thought of my walk because of the last three lines, which again, surprise, surprise it's about the moon; "The full round moon and the star-laden sky, And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves, Had hid away earths old and weary cry." I've begun to really enjoy reading the types of poetry that focus on nature, which is why I tend to relate them back to my experiences in Ireland. I really enjoy being out in it, feeling the sun or the breeze, watching the stars and the moon, and really just embracing my time out while I can.
