Umbrellas

I sat in the sun today, it was warm but the breeze, the breeze was perfect. My future is a mystery and I have absolutely no control. I'm smiling though, knowing that life is so much better unplanned. I'm lifting my hands to the heavens and He whispers to me "everything will be okay." I'm never going to give up on my dreams, I just have to learn to live them one day at a time. I get ahead of myself often, try to pave the way for journeys I'm not even prepared for yet. I WILL do what has been promised to me.

I'm letting go.

Oh RAIN

Wow, currently in my cabin during a huge thunder storm! The rain is falling in sheets against the wood of the cabin and the sound of thunder makes my heart jump... I love it.

I went on a Kayak adventure about an hour ago, I went to the middle of the lake and just sat there watching the clouds form and listening to the distant explosions of thunder. It got closer and I rowed my way back to the dock but by the time I reached it, I was completely soaked. I wasn't in a hurry though. Now the thunder literally sounds as though bombs are going off and a war of water and sky is commencing right outside my door.

Oh goodness, this is what I live for.

Sigur ros

I'm leaving for McCall tomorrow, yet again around the same time as last year. It's not as repetative as some might think although this will be my fourth summer doing this. It's strange though, I'm somewhat torn. I want to leave, I always have. I have a travelers soul but my heart sometimes gets in the way of my ambition. I am going to miss this so much. This; meaning today, yesterday, just being here. I can't stand leaving all the people ive fallen in love with over the past 6 months. I don't want to leave the comfort of friendship. I think about all the days ive spent just laughing and the nights filled, always, with peace. I wonder how many moments just like these, that i'll be missing out on.

These moments, they will blur to fond memories before long, but no matter where this takes us. Forgetting what happens next and embracing the experiences i've been given, they mean the world to me.

It's so hard to emplain how amazingly painful life can be, and how gloriously wonderful it is, all at the same time.
