Remembering....my journeys

 Do you remember...a different day, a different time...when life was simpler? Or is that only a place in my mind? I used to walk fields picking wildflowers, ride crazily over hills...hair flowing behind me until it was too tangled to easily comb. And I remember, wondering where those days disappeared.

It wasn't just for fun, it was a need I had to let the wind rush past my cheeks as we ran. Perhaps it was a substitute for the ocean, too far away for me to submerge myself and wash clean my soul, so we'd blow away the exhaustion and the pain and leave the world far behind. And I remember, longing, for those memories again.

I didn't miss the world on those afternoon journeys, for what was to miss in the hectic pace and constant demands? I traveled places within reach of my home, but too far to easily walk and it was an adventure...a journey....a solace. And I remember, hungry for the taste of fragrant flowers on my lips.

And I wonder...when we let them slip away into silent crevasses...into absent longings...into forgotten spaces. Perhaps this the journey I'll now take...to bind loose ends...and travel back...to days when life held less...and more.
Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

 I think it's the journey called life, up's and down's young and older. People change, we change... I still say never grow up fully so that you can venture back to the carefree days of a child.

 Time to go pick wildflowers and sniff the air.... (well, maybe wait until spring....you might freeze your nose! )
Wishing you happiness

 Simpler times when our parents did all the worrying for us.

These were not actually childhood memories although some of them pre-date my daughter's birth. I've always loved riding into the hills and feeling the wind whip around me. I just haven't had time for the past...twenty years. It's sad when we let go of the things we love...

Actually, it's been such a strange winter that we've barely had snow. My grass is beginning to green again...Idaho Falls hit mid fifties the other day. I think I'd like to put a nice pasture in on the back part of the property...and a fence...and maybe a horse. We'll see what we'll see...

Yep. Although these weren't days when my parents were supporting me, they were days I escaped from my marriage...when I rented a horse and just disappeared...and maybe because everything else was so crazy and this was the only peace I knew...maybe they represent something idyllic for me.
