Inner Dialogue

I had a perfect day yesterday. Not just a good one, but a perfect one that started early in the morning and lasted well into the wee hours of today. It was a day that metaphorically represented how I want to live my life. We headed in a general direction, no hurry, no worries, taking plenty of time to stop and see the flowers along the way. We took some side roads and stopped in many places, slowing down enough to look closely at the intricate handiwork God has created. There was time spent at the top of the world, in awestruck silence of the beauty around or in quiet contemplation of life in general. It was gentle and easy and fun and free... a comfortable rhythm developed as we drove over curvy mountain roads or walked across grassy sierra meadows. It is pretty darned cool to spend time with someone who not only likes, but looks for, the path less taken, and who knows that some of the most wonderful experiences in life comes from just seeing where the road will take you.
