Escape

I was standing in the grass looking at Timp, watching the graceful mountain. My shoes were off and I felt my feet growing into the earth. Lately when I go outside, I get a glorious feeling. I feel the openness of the sky, the expansion of the air, and the love. When I stood on my balcony last night the cool air whirled in my ears. I could see the stars. I could hear the city. I guess you could say that I am in awe of being outside. It's new again to me. Fresh. The feeling I get excites me. My bike has been my best way of catching freedom. The ride I took today was flawless. My yellow beach cruiser carried me around my town. The cool wind blowing across my chest and the sun dancing on my skin. It's an escape pure and simple. One that works every time. Outside is where I need to be. Summer is on it's way. The mountains, grass, sand, water, dirt, trees, flowers, clouds, sun, moon, stars. Those are places I find peace, love, and freedom.
