Waltzing as Matilda

Apr 27, 2007 22:38


A stiff breeze bears down from the twilight east, warm and full of barely contained excitement. A sailor's wind, promising distant shores and wild adventure on the high seas. It's a good night for travel, and the road ahead calls with the plaintive cry of a lover in need, a once both begging and commanding, fanning to flame that echoing desire in your own innermost depths. Fire courses through your veins, an unstoppable, unrelenting conflagration that sweeps you away and next thing you know you're miles away, dancing that deep, primeval dance with the open road.
Tomorrow I cast myself onto the fickle mercies of my mistress, the distant horizon. She owns my soul and the wind will carry me into her arms.

And before I forget, Teaf (and anyone else in the Treasure Valley interested in working at Deer flat National Wildlife Refuge): you can fill out a really easy, no-employment-history-information-required application at the Visitor's Center (open until 4:00 Mon-Sat). But hurry, because they have to be in by May 4th!
