Colorado holds so much more presence than I had thought. I didn't not want to leave and I lingered in those snow capped peaks for as long as I could. I would move there if only I could conceive of meeting the cost of living. It is an experience that can change you if you let it. What awesome breathtaking majesty! Now I know why the bible says "to the hills I lift my eyes"
I lived in California and have seen the sierra Nevada, but this was something more.

I'm not sure how it happened. I never wanted to climb the corporate ladder. It seems as if one day I awoke to find that I was carrying a soft leather brief case to work, sporting an ipod on my hip, and wondered how I got here. I have always carefully chosen jobs that were not steady. I was a waitress and good at it. I choose a position where I could have freedom in my schedule and take off at will. I am a traveler at heart, you see. I suppose that one day my wallet became incensed at it's miss treatment and began to protest at rather loud volumes.

" -Ben Franklin Now the trick is to gain freedom, which is ever so illusive, even when you are severed from your "Thy rope of sands, Which petty thoughts have made, and made to

I have always know that I am a blunt person. Sometimes I begin to wonder if this is a good or bad thing. I was recently in a conversation in which a guy was asking if something he had done was rude.

He let that sink in and when she was feeling flattered he clairified that he had not said that he found her attractive.(when in reality he did find her attractive) He went on to explain that guys seemed to do stupid things in order to impress her and he didn't think she was impressed. Ok, so I wanted to know why he couldn't just say I see that guys do stupid things in an attempt to impress you, are you really impressed? Why not be strait forward. He said you can't just do that. I know that girls play games and that some guys do to, but untill this conversation, I had not realized how prevlent these manipulations were in pla

I have experienced more suffering than I am able or willing to share and at times I wonder what the purpose is to so much pain... Wonder how people are able to hate so much and hurt so much. I never cease to be amazed at the horrors that mankind devise when I know so many good people. It seems as if the persentage of evil people out there is small. Is it simply that those who are hurtful are so many or that they are so vile, or both that accounts for so much horror in the world? I have come to understand that my suffering is because of who I will become. Great suffering leads to great compassion. One day we will run free. Unfettered.
