it's time ... for california stars yet again.

in less than twelve hours, i set out on a new adventure.

here's what i am expecting along the way.

iowa to wyoming. dear friend, hiking, swiming, soaking in nature.

wyoming to salt lake city. exploring, salt lake swimming, temple going.

salt lake city to the great salt flats. requires a picture if nothing else.

great salt flats through nevada. falling asleep at the wheel.

nevada to sacramento. chelsea sees her friend. i am anxious for tomorrow.

sacramento to modesto. meeting up with a person who means the world to me. embracing him and never letting go.

modesto to san francisco. the strongest three-way embrace with him and my other incredible teammate. it's time to breathe again. exploring the city.

san francisco down the coast. dude. big sur. santa cruz. sunsets over the most beautiful coast i have ever seen.

and finally, san diego. learning how to settle. finally learning that it is ok to make a home. missing people up north. loving the people down south.

the beautiful thing about road trips is that you never know what will come. sure i am going to see these places, but every place will be a mystery that is just waking up when we are coming through.

i am ready to be on the road again. i have been itching for adventure for far too long. to sleep beneath the stars. to smoke and talk. and to laugh, oh to laugh again, so so much.

i am ready to breath again.

to start this part of life.

to remember who i was, to keep those remnants, and to move on from there.

to become myself.

to the road.

(!!!!!)

see you in california.

k.

i'd like to dream all my all my troubles away

on a bed of california stars

jump up from my starbed and make another day

underneath my california stars.

[i'm ready for more of this ... ]
