Summer Breeze...
So, lately I've been preoccupied with memories. Which isn't always a bad thing, especially when they're all good ones.
At night, I dream of the summer. Of redwood trees that are so tall, you wouldn't even know how to measure them (we discussed this once). Of a grove that is so dark at night, you could easily play hide-n-go-seek and not find anyone. Of a forest, you can drive a truck through, in reverse. Of the rocks by the stream, where we would lie on the cool surface and discuss everything and anything. Of a hike to where the power lines are, where you can see to the ocean. Of the clearing, where the world becomes silent and you stand in awe. Of a special beach that is unbelievably beautiful. Of the night sky, with stars, planets, and satellites in vast quantities. Of a sky so beautiful, you could easily stay out for hours, just immersed in the beauty of it. Of a group of people who I miss and am constantly overwhelmed by the amount of love I have for.
I've also been thinking about last Christmas. About playing games outside, all of us in our huge winter coats, our cheeks flushed from running around and the harsh cold. Of the wind from the ocean whipping our hair into tangled knots. Of Red Rover, running from the 'blob', and countless other childhood games, resurrected by our inner children.
And a week I spent on a farm in Frankfurt, Kentucky. Of the obstacle course, swinging from the rope swing over a hill, feeding the goats, swimming in the creek, camping out, getting checked for ticks every night, watching The Princess Bride, the most delicious grilled chicken I've ever had, roasted marshmallows and corn.
I wish...
...to experience fall in the suburbs of New England. Because I have extremely romantic ideals for what it could be like. Picturesque streets lined with trees changing color and covered in leaves, houses covered with ivy, families.
...to experience New York during Christmas at least once.
...to go to Africa.
...to be happy and content for the rest of my life.
...to fall in love for real.
...to go to the beach. On the Pacific Coast.
...to lie under the night sky with all of my favorite people.
...for winter break to come as quickly as possible.
