A New Chapter
I feel content. Today was one of the best days in my life. These past few weeks were more than I could dream. I want to stay here in Saint George, Utah. I feel at home under the stars. I feel peaceful with the mountains. I feel useful talking and leading group. Everything felt right, and it is sad to leave this behind. I will be back. I just don't know when. It should be soon, because I don't want this glimmering light of hope to fade away. Today was happy. Today was right. I'm finally at peace. I fear the clouded sky at home will wash away this feeling, because I could never hold onto it for too long. I want a bottle for this moment. I need one for last night, in the cave, with the hawk, and with someone genuinely special. We will meet again. Hopefully I will still be tasting this victory in my mouth--accomplishment.
