we all go up to the mountain and turn into wilder versions of ourselves.
it’s why we go;
to be unleashed from everything that has a hold on us.
{jillian - the noisy plume}
about wild spaces:
the first mountains i ever saw were in yellowstone as the sun came up one morning last summer.
ben drove me overnight in july – out to wyoming – so i could see some real mountains.
we drove down into jackson hole and my heart is there, looking across the valley at the tetons,
camping under jackson peak, still.
in october, we (all four of us) took a 13 day driving/camping trip and got to visit rifle and ouray, co and drive south through the rocky mountains and then down to sedona, az and to the grand canyon and then up through lone pine and bishop, ca to mammoth lakes and mono lake – the sierra nevadas are gorgeous, too! we drove into reno, nv and then back this way. we stopped and camped and hiked and took deep breaths and wound the beauty up inside of us.
this summer all four of us will go out to yellowstone and jackson hole and down to pinedale, wy.
maybe we should just stay. out there in our tents. in the sunshine. in the wild.
up on the mountain.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
