Wide Open Spaces

How could you possibly explain the pure exquisiteness and perfection of nature?

The aroma of crisp fresh air, the jingles of bees buzzing and birds singing, the sensation of the sun’s intense rays and the wind’s sporadic breezes, the flavor of organic fruit and garden-fresh vegetables, and the view of lush green land and untainted mountain ranges are inimitable. My senses instantly fall in love with the new surroundings. This tour through Idaho has been absolutely refreshing to say the least. The wide open land, freedom, and lack of restrictions on the ranch diminish the feeling of stress and erase the pressures of society.  I am able to just step outside and remind myself of who I am and what I want to be.

Jason continuously asks if I’m bored here, I think he may have been jaded from the minute we arrived. But for me, this is all brand new and very interesting. There’s no easy escape to man-made attractions; malls, parks, coffee shops, movie theaters, or bars. We are far from any sort of development or civilization and I think there is striking beauty in that when you think about it. After a few days with his parents in their own territory, I believe they subliminally provide a priceless message: identify what’s most important to you, eliminate as much as you possibly can of everything else - no wasted time, no fluff, no regrets.
