If you stay lost in the wild long enough, you'll find yourself.
I think about the unconfirmed supernatural explanations of phenomena as I gaze up inversely toward the endless black carpet filled with brilliant dust particles of light. I am still someone who wanders into nature to recharge regardless.

The whole "not having to work a day in your life if you enjoy what you are doing" is somewhat misleading. Most people have to work whether you’re in a corporate office or juggling life and family as a stay at home parent. There are still difficult obstacles to overcome and problems to face.

With everyone holding up in their homes, technology has become the tool that is keeping us united. However, it REALLY would have sucked if this happened back when I was poking people on Facebook, hanging tacky wall flair.
To say the desert is absolutely gorgeous is an understatement. I’ve happily gotten up before the sunrise to stare out at a ridge of mountains only to lose my mind to childlike wonder. You feel small when you rest your eyes upon it all, but also free.
It’s been eleven years since the first and latest time I had to bypass the grapevine heading south to avoid a snowstorm.
