Roads built by men, lead to beauty in all directions.

To know where to go is what will change your life, as it has mine.

In my opinion, true adventure begins when you’ve reached the road’s end.

And in that moment, you go where you choose; Absolutely…

…

The red sand that fell from my eyes,

Collected as I slept beneath the wind and light desert rains.

Surrounded by fragile canyon walls;

A natural amphitheater.

Where cave meets calm glassy cove,

Shelters my hidden beach.

Have I found a home in this desert?

On certain nights, yes.

But home is not what I seek.

Far exceeding the need for comfort, is the need to feel alive!

To make connections with nature, and with the universe; and

To share in joy with friends and lovers.

These are the dreams that overtake my consciousness.

…

I gaze intently at the walls surrounding, as they burst upward into the open algorithmic bordered sky.

It never ceases to amaze me; the lights of other worlds.

But Darkness awakens as the wind blows.

A sardonic gathering of clouds.

The deep emotion in the air has never felt more communicative.

…To connect is easy, if you so choose…

Though be not mistaken; weather has not feelings nor concerns.

Nature is true; always and forever.

…

I lay on my back as the tiny grains sweep over the front of my body.

My eyes stay open; looking up as long as possible at the ever-morphing skies, until I am forced to shut them and wipe from them the particulate earth.

Those who share my heart lay beside me; collectively dreaming.

Of lightning, and of science, of friendship, and of studies too rare to present reliable data.

…But men were born to dream…

To skate the slippery surfaces of consciousness with grace and determination.

To make the finest of edges appear as the widest of ledges.

To enlighten and teach, to reach out and seek the wisdom of the great mother, no matter how frightening it may be.

Receptivity is the key to open worlds.

Worlds to live in and worlds that live in you.

Revolving biospheres in the expansion of wonder.

Watch it all breathe or be a part of the breath…

Either way it exists.
