"When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side, of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky.
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny, in the grand scheme of things, and sometimes this terrifies me, and it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene in a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been. So grounded and so humble and so one with everything. I am grounded I am humbled I am one with everything."
It's so amazing to me, to live in WY and have the opportunity, the freedom, to drive off when I fanacy and watch the sunrise, watch it set. Doing this is an act of worship, not only that, it's an act of praise. I thank God that I am blessed to experience the beauty of the WY sky. I thank God that I have the freedom to drive off on my own, get out of my car, and look up at the sky. No matter how many summer nights go by, the sky always amazes me. The beauty of it. The size of it. Thinking back to what I love about Nicaragua, I realize something that you can't appreciate there, like you can here, is the sky. The sky here is so outrageously open, so big. I love to drive off into the country, off of Horse Creek, past the point that the road starts to narrow. Traffic is scarce, city lights are inconspicuous. It never tires for me, regardless of if I drove off to watch it every night, it would be a new spectacle to admire every time.
What's even more amazing for me, is that I have the freedom to do that. My parents just let me drive off, with hardly a word.
"I'm going to watch the sunset."
"OK, enjoy."
: ) Simple as that. They trust me completely. It's fabulous, and I'm grateful.
