spacious

I don't know what it is about the high desert, except that it's beautiful and I love it. We went with good friends, we went to make music and hang out (which we did, and which was great), but companionable quiet is just about my favorite thing in the world, with the vistas a very close second. I'm less fond of the barbed wire bite on my inner thigh and the scraping of sagebrush up my shin, but even those irritations make me smile.

I love being able to to sit right in the middle of a blacktopped road in the middle of the day, looking miles into the distance from a slight rise, hearing only the infrequent buzzing of flies, or a light wind, and nothing else, knowing that when I choose to, I can rejoin the group at any time.

                     Hush.
                     Expanse. 
                     Choice.

Best things in the world.
