It was a cold, dark night, and the perfect time to be outdoors...
Last night's yard period was quiet and peaceful. There were only twelve guys in my cell block's outdoor recreation yard, including me. So it made for easy walking, and for some silent praying, too. It was just what I needed to clear my mind after a busy day.
During the night hours I can, if I wish, go to our outdoor yard. But it's not the main yard, which is huge. The yards for the cell blocks are smaller, but still spacious enough to walk around in. It's much like being in a neighborhood playground with basketball courts and benches to sit on.
When I'm not in the chapel or in school, I can go outside. And last night I needed some time alone with the Lord, and with myself. So other than stopping for a few minutes every now and then, to socialize with the guys who were with me, I had plenty of precious "quiet time." Those two hours walking in the cold were just what I needed.
