Drift Reflection Deux

Describe, with details, two situations during Drift 1 and/or 2 in which you felt unusually peaceful, at ease, or contemplative.

My second drift the entire time I felt at peace. I went out at day instead of at night, it was warm instead of snowing, I could listen to music instead of my own footsteps, and I got to take pictures. That’s a huge step up from my first drift. There was this one particular spot where I felt most at ease though. Walking down North Avenue I found this small wooded area with a soccer field next to a nursery. There were tons of birds around and the wind kept blowing the leaves up into the air and swirling them around. I stopped and sat in a tree for a long time before moving on. It wasn’t really productive, but it was contemplative.
On my third drift I went down near the lake and walked under a bridge to get there. I spent some time around the bridge looking for good pictures and sitting up on its ledges. I thought of great adventures like epic poems.
