moments....

Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the world. Sometimes we forget what it is that truly makes us tick. And sometimes it just takes one little thing to make our eyes open again and see the world in the light we know it should be seen in.

Life is good at sweeping us up and taking us for a ride, and we seldom stop to look not at where we’ve been, but where we are going. For the fortunate… one day something happens, or someone comes into your life, that makes the light above your head shine once again. Though not as bright as the light over New Mexico, that light shines on ahead, and clears the path we truly wish to follow. And the simplicity of sharing a cup of coffee while looking over pictures on an iphone set to your favorite tunes… a long conversation in a parked car late at night… or how an early spring afternoon swaying in a hammock with shadows dancing across your face can unravel the complexity of a city where people become zombies of the corporate giant.

It’s amazing how one small thing can make such a huge impact in your life. It’s amazing how one week can show you the way. It’s amazing how one person can remind you of all you wish to be to not only yourself, but show you everything you’ve ever truly wanted in another.

There’s a place where buffalo roam… where the air is crisp, clean and innocent. Where purple mountain majesties have been sung about… and where even the truly unsinkable have found them selves. There’s a place where the skies are as big as a child's eye's seeing the world for the first time… where the landscape is so majestic that you can’t help but stare in awe. There’s a place where you see yourself in the arms of that loved one… balanced in a hammock… wading in mountain streams… gliding through canyons… or simply next to you when you first awake on Sunday morning.
