Learning, Writing, Reading.

The frost after a freezing night in Rifle Canyon.
Ruben from Spain. Such a nice man.
Me Going for a Trail Run
The Guiding stick I found inthe back country while on a run
Me
Why not to leave Rifle? The town where the gun was found on the side of the road during times of war.  The joy the mountains brings to me, disconnected from the world, with no phone, no traffic, no haste no greed. Share with thy neighbor, water, food, talk. Why leave to Kentucky? My books draw me in; besides to study I find such inspiration to learn about others while I'm amongst the trees. To survive the thawed fall time in the canyon amongst the streams and deers, and faceless and race less skies. A pure endeavour that you can only experience once every year, why would I leave? A run yesterday took me to deep parts at the tip of the canyon which few choose to explore, with brisk winds blowing and my heart racing, I wish I'd came before, but poetry and thoughts, inspired by my studies, I learn so much no need for company, there's no need for a buddy.
THE RAIN and COLD
The clouds darken with roars from something we all feel close to. The response from the heavens answers something so satisfying with our souls. I call back to the thunderous roar "HOO!" Indians would dance and play with colors and ribbons and flutes and coyotes and bears while the mighty winds and rains and clouds a blew. The fires all went out while we forced inside to light our candles. Alone or with others our own delights were here to satisfy us. We wrote, we studied, we thought, we ate, we moved, we hurried,  we slowed, we wait, we are inspired. While the cold air and clouds precipitate, change in the weather is like that of life, a delightful view for the eyes of sight. Our inner eye reflects the clouds and the wind, connections to your soul provides a grin. 
  And for this reason I choose not to leave Rifle. With my pad of thoughts getting more extensive, and the my neighbors giving me omens of education, by touching up on my french. The cold, freezing nights beckon me to stay. 
INSPIRATION TO HELP THE WORLD: (has been calling my name since I shed a tear)
I read an inspiring book that delights my soul, to live what life I have not lead. To make my family proud and work hard to help others and myself. As I grip the frozen door handle of my car, my life awaits on the other side, and while the clouds wisp over head I see the beauty of these shapes and know that lifes-a-turning. I meditate, and I stretch under skies, I read while I walk, a peaceful mission that has no location. Climb a mountain, envisioning landscapes so far away. To help a child, to move a mountain, could never see the day.  But read I do, and just learn more, which helps me on my quest;  to move a mountain to help a child, I sure shall do my best. There's so much more that calls my name, to read to write to learn, but Rome was not built in a single day, and with effort I shall earn. 
My experiencese are only wielding optimism, shaping my life, to shape my vision ,and more. To keep on writing and babble on would be an underscore. To tell you blatantly what I want to do, should be saved for grants and applications, to help others, to make my mother and father smile, to meditate under moving skies knowing that I have made a difference. I speak to my love still, as best of friends, while no relationship does bind us, we recognize the greatness in one another and soon greatness is sure to find us. To bake a bread, and teach our children, and help others plus ourselves. The greatness of life is shining so bright and I can't await tomorrow. 
Some of my plans:
  1. To keep learning and writing and reading daily. Learning and accomplishing more is a huge goal.
  2. Donating my time to very important issues in the world. Eventually to fulfill a quest to help others in need. 
  3. The short term will take me to Kentucky to climb at the Red River Gorge and figure out where my future is going. 
  4. To keep on reading and writing and learning. 
  5. Staying in close contacts with my friends and family. 
  6. I want to congratulate my cousin Mark L. and his wife Christine on their new baby girl Charlotte
  7. And the new addition my cousin Lauren R. will have to the world coming soon. I want to let my family know how important they are to me. 
  8. Sent "The Beast with Two Backs" 
  9. Reading a book called "3 cups of tea" Inspired also by botany and exploration and many other things.
