I Will Say it Again

Colorado. I want nothing more than to be there. But I have a peace as I have resigned myself to God's timing. Not sure if I could say I have completely resigned myself to his will if I am to be some other place. I have no answer from the family I wish to work for again. That is ok. If I do not hear from them by some point (this point I do not know), I intend to seek other opportunities, but I can say without any hindrance that I have gotta be in Colorado.

Right now my friend Alex is in the mountains to evade the distractions of this life. I envy him. In California, you actually have to go away to do that. In Colorado, you drive 10 minutes, park, and start walking. For a while last summer, I would hike in Ute Valley Park just before dusk. The day was fading, the temperature had fallen, and it was quiet. With Bono by my side, I would take off down the path, wandering through the park. I loved to go to the top of the bluffs, and look down the other side. With just the sound of my feet, Bono's tags clinking, and the scampering of squirrels in pine needles, I felt so free of distraction. Even with a full parking lot, I would run into few people. I miss those daily times alone with God in my thoughts.
