Cory and I went hiking at Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve a few weeks ago. It was a lovely day--but muddy! It had been raining a lot the last couple of weeks and the trail we chose to follow was pretty much a sludgy mess the whole way. I enjoyed trudging through the mud far less than I usually enjoy actually hiking, but it was still pretty out.
The group I sing with (Paradigm Vocal Ensemble) took a road trip to perform in Nebraska. This was taken during a gas/bathroom/snack stop somewhere in Oklahoma.
At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are.
Cory and I stopped at a Cracker Barrel to eat on the way home from Austin (nearly a month ago now--I'm so far behind!) and this American Bank was across the highway from it.
