A New Road

I have a story of ups and downs. The middle of the road exists or rather doesn’t exist in this childish mind, unless, of course, it involves taking the dare to lie in the middle of the road. Head to toe streamlined body tight spotting headlights waiting for tires to pass inches close to my demise.

Thrilling right?

It’s all fun and games. I bet you’re waiting for me to say until dot, dot, dot. Fill in the blank. I’m not on a death wish, I’m on an experience tour. Live it up. If someone is boring, have a couple drinks till what they are saying is interesting to some degree. Drink a little or a lot more, pass out so they leave.

I am here because the voices of the mountains and ocean are calling my name to come play. Mother Nature has won a battle over the bottle. My body started giving out. “It’s not fun anymore is what I hear it telling me”. I will regenerate for you and heal to the connection of what is. It is time to shift my version of fun.
