Chasm - 100 Words

Finally! After a bit of a hiatus, I have a 100 Words entry. Here's my entry for the prompt 'chasm':

Starting on His Bucket List

Fourteen days ago, he decided to sell as many of his belongings as possible, to donate what was left, and to hit the road. The thrilling part of this whole thing, to him anyway, is that he has no idea where he is going yet. He will let a map of the Americas and a dart be his guide. He isn't picky, he just wants to experience everything he can on this, his Best Adventure. And if it just so happens that his route takes him over a chasm or two...well, he might finally try his hand at base jumping.

A Step Forward (I think)

Today I stood on the shore of Lake Superior.

I watched the waves tumble the rocks into the sand. I marveled at how many rocks there were and wondered how long it had taken the lake to smooth out the stones' rough edges. I wondered what it would take to smooth my rough edges.

Today I stood on the shore of Lake Superior in the rain and the drizzle and did my damnedest to let the anger go.

I ended up walking the shore for a couple of hours.

I felt better.

I feel better.

Thank you, Lake Superior.
