Im Sore...
Still... I'm sore. The horse ride, though brief, was fantastic. The fall however... wasn't so much. But it was completely worth it to be with friends again. Watching Jamie play with the kids, not only did she seem like she was a kid... she was also the size of one as well. Watching Ben be... well.. Ben. Potter being potter with the smile and laughter. Jay with his beard that could house more than a few birds. Bridgette with her goat spawned wine. Ange with her human sized tumor who's name I've presently forgotten, no offense of course, its just I've only meet the guy once other than that night and my memory isn't the best when it comes to new people. Am i forgetting someone? Ah yes, Bridgette's sister and her guy thing.
What a bonfire it was. I ate way to many hot dogs on a stick. Same goes with the marsh-mellows. I'll be sure to remind myself to try and bring something next time so I'm not being such a huge bum.
Watching the debris from the bonfire catch the wind and fly up into the night sky, the laughter of having everyone come together for each others stories and conversations, the sparklers, it was like one of those scenes you see in a commercial or movie. Where everyone is laughing, close together huddled around a fire telling stories and eating, just not as corny because it was real. Even though the music was not of my preference, it fit well into the night and made it that much better.
One thing that's hit me since then though. Being around Bridgette and Jay... I don't know, it just seems that i somehow come down to earth after a visit with them. I swear to god they have some type of symbiotic relationship with nature and themselves. Just feel... at peace i would say? I guess it could probably be explained by the fact that, ever since I've been a kid, I've felt a connection with the spirits of nature, I guess that makes me sound like I'm partial to Wicca or Druidism but I don't know. But anyways, I'm guessing its because of Bridgette's pull towards being a Hippy and Jays outdoorsmanship I guess you could say... if that's even a word.
That last part is funny when you think of how much i dislike the brightness of the sun outside and heat. I guess there's still Earth, Wind, Water, and Spirit.
