where do we go from here?

Dirt and Sand

I have spent a lot of my time away in different locations across the US but i had never experienced a place like Colorado.  After spending just a little time there, there was a connection i felt unlike any other place i’ve ever been.  It was like my whole life i had been searching for the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, and after i found it, i was finally completele.  Finally i had found my true home, and finally i was ready to grow roots.

When i finally had to leave it was as if i was being ripped away.  To think i wasn’t going to be able to look outside and marvel at the beauty of God had created me, was almost too much to bear.  As my days turned to hours i tried to absorb as much as i could, trying to engrave everything deep in my mind, so i wouldn’t loose it.  As the distance grew, I sunk into my thoughts remembering everything i could, knowing that those thoughts were all i could have.

Here we are, in the Arizona desert, nothing but flat land, dirt and sand as far as the eye can see.  A blank canvas of sorts where i can still imagine the glorious Peak… this will have to do for now.

an introduction of sorts

Well, in the past week my entire life has been turned upside down. My love of almost 6 years and I decided to call it quits, a break of sorts. I’ve had to move away from Colorado, a place I felt become my home. I’ve had to move back to Arizona, a place that I feel has little to offer me as far as my future is concerned, and with that, a return to a somewhat solitary life. So here I am, my first day back, and I find myself with nothing to do, so here I am, about to start rebuilding the pieces of my life, and I’ve decided I will take my Tumblr for the ride. Not sure how to begin, so here’s something I found written on a piece of paper that fell out of my notebook, its dated 9/19/07.

A persons views, and opinions are personal to every individual person. Experience, stories, upbringing, everything in someone’s life shapes the way they see the world, and more importantly, the way they feel about it. These views, these opinions, these feelings, these are the things that define us, the things that show who we are. This is our soul, and to share these things is to share something intimate, giving a part of us to the world.

People live then they die, and to live a life of solitude is to die forever. Give yourself to everyone and you will live forever. Live a life of substance, speak with meaning, and you will live in peoples hearts and mind for eternity.

I write, in hope that these words will echo in you, and my soul will live on.

Sincerely,
Daniel
