Darsi Alla Fuga

Anticipation &
Anxiety coursing through my veins.
Body temperature rising, rising
As the aircraft ascends.
Faces I don't know
Forever imprinted on my heart.
Time to go...
Exhilarating,
Wrapped in sky &
Cold, clear, new life flowing through my lungs,
Through my veins,
Into my soul.
Loud
Love
Fast
Hot
Free
White cloak pulls me into heat, peace, serenity.
Shhh...
Experience right now.
Slowly drifting
Perfection.
Alas, my feet touch earth.
Forced to walk &
My heart breaks with each step.

Camping Adventures

Last weekend, Rae and I met up with the Cadenheads at Backbone State Park. This was my second year of tent camping at Backbone, and I LOVE IT!!! We were lucky enough to have great weather (with the exception of one heckuva 20 minute downpour on Sunday afternoon), good camping neighbors, and as always ~ the best company! Grandma Rea and Uncle John paid us a visit on Sunday, and went hiking with us, too. Here are a few photos of our adventure:

Our campsite was nice and cozy. We had the fire going most of the weekend ~ s'mores galore!

Look at this cute couple!


I will cherish these memories forever.
Love to you all...
