Most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen. A stranger in mid-sentence pausing their conversation to greet you. A cool breeze, on a hot day, in the bed of a pickup. A night sky worth watching for hours. The simplest pleasures meaning the most. Children asking you for a dollar. The most beautiful landscapes imaginable. Vast expanses. Deep blue skies, yet again. Getting to know myself. The grasses glowing like filaments as the sun begins to set. Parrots outside my bedroom window. The underappreciated art of delayed satisfaction. Frustrations. Accepting those frustrations. A new perspective on happiness. Exotic animals grazing. Opportunities to be something more than myself. The refreshing cold from the riverbed. Shadow play on the wall of my bedroom at night. A catalyst for a better me. Waiting with my thoughts for a ride to the next town. A new home. The inability to imagine who I’d be without it.
