Cecilia found comfort in peace and quiet. She enjoyed herself in the presence of others, and had a good time participating in profound conversations, yet the moments where she could get away seemed to make her a better person. Once she had discovered this, a pleasing stroll through the woods behind her house became inevitable at least once a week. She would let her mind wander, often pondering epistemology, and how much of a paradox thinking about thinking created. If she wasn't concerned with her thoughts, she would notice more tangible subjects of thought, like the ancient sequoias that surrounded her, or the wildlife among those mammoth trees. Cecilia often ended up near a particular fork in the trail, and her rote was to keep right. Today however, she ventured left in search of new stimuli to appease her ever-contemplating mind.
