the long road



all I want is a car, a CD, a camera and a long road leading to somewhere,
where i can shap-shot the scenes and piece them together
in the album on my coffee table at home
with a glass of tea and William Fitzsimmons in the background, 
kneeling and placing the pieces of this journey,
of this life together... 
not alone, but comfortable.
searching but confident
thinking but not doubting,
wondering but not knowing...

with the boxes still packed, and the messages stacked high
on the machine...
just being

wild days, I will find you

there are times when I think I am still SO young... I'll get this want deep within me to paint my nails black, ditch work and just drive. I get this want to just let it all go, have no responsibilities, and just run. Make mistakes, fall in love again and again, photograph anything and everything, dance on table tops, drink to much, stay up late to watch the stars and just live. I'll be driving home from work, thinking... lets just go! I have a full tank of gas, I can get new clothes, bills are paid for the month.. lets just go wild for a week. Hike and move, laugh and cry and be happy. but I always bounce back, look at the clock and say "oh man... its 8:30PM... I should start getting ready for bed." HOW BORING. I tattooed myself a few months ago - wanting something to remind me of how far I have come and how much God has been my influence in my life. I also got it to just FEEL something. Anything. In the moment of getting the tattoo, I felt young, alive and ...
