rejoice

last night we went to the hot springs. every time i go into the wilderness i truly have a spiritual experience. it makes me remember how small i am.

we left the city lights at around 10. and i was praying that we would leave them faster. i couldn't wait until we lost cell phone service. we drove as fast as we could through the thick fog and didn't look back. when we got off the main road we let loose and swirved on the ice.

i love this freedom.

when we finally parked we had to hike up a donkey's trail until i saw a true oasis. the guys stripped into their boxers like adolescents preparing for their first physical. icy feet then melted to fire, but the sting felt great.

i looked up in the haze of the sky and saw a rather fulll moon crowned with a halo. i then looked at the stars and thought about how often people say, "look how far away they are." but i thought the opposite tonight. i felt as if i was in a plantetarium again.

then i looked straight forward at the beautiful painting laid before me. the shades of blue, purple, grey, white. a few hours later our finers had shrunk, and we made our way to the car. as we made our way towards cell phone service there was a subtle grown in the car.

so long nature

until we meet again. hats off

please. continue to make me low. amen amen
