Mount Douglas

I ran from my house to the top of a mountain. Specifically, I ran up the Lochside trail to Galey Farm and then hiked up Mount Douglas when the forecast called for storms. I expected to get caught but this beast never caught me, just lurked over the Sooke Hills, and I felt euphoric and alive and gorgeous and I realized that walking the length of the Lochside trail this winter was somehow transformative for me, like really, like the philosophy course, and the BTS fandom, and I will only really be able to digest all the things that have poured through me this year, slowly, over the next few years, and in the meantime I will keep running up mountains and dodging storms and finding pockets of the week to be only a body, moving, under the sky.
