PROMPT March 2nd What do you do or where do you go when you need to "get away?"

Get Away

A walk down the street
looking at my neighborhood,
prayers before going to sleep,
reading or writing poetry,
and listening to the neighbors
or the sounds of nature.

At 72, a "get away" is a state of mind and not a place. When I was younger, I thought I had to take a vacation or go to a park by myself to get away. As I aged, I begin to realize that I don't have to leave my house or my neighborhood to get away. All I have to do is find something I enjoy doing, such as reading, or writing to get away.
