The freedom and simple beauty is too good to pass up...

-Into the Wild

Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. - Alexander Supertramp May 1992

Ron- When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you. 
[at that very moment, the clouds part, and sunlight falls upon them] 

I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth.

What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now? [last words]

Into the Wild was an amazing movie. I advise everyone to watch it. I rented it off of Itunes and truly enjoyed watching it. Today had a weird beginning. I woke to my mom and sisters chatting and doing some last minute packing. Got a shower then got dressed. All at like 6 this morning conidering I didnt sleep well all this week and last night you would of thought I would of stayed in bed for those last few minutes of sleep. No, I got up and was cheerful and feeling better and ready to see my family off. Weird. My mom and her sister are taking all of the kids [3 boys and 3 girls=6 cousins] to Alanta. For 3 full days of fun, sunburns, lines, fast food, hotel rooms, theme parks, fishes, and coke. [More power to ya] I however will be alone reading, hanging with joey, or hanging with my dog in my clean home. [hellz yea] It was weird to be able to give my mom advice about Atlanta and let her borrow my gear and be helpful in the packing portion of our day yesterday. She heard me out and was surprised I even cared about their trip.Good laughs. I scammed my sister into helping me clean my room... that was fun. We listened to pop music [lol I let her pick] and cleaned everything. Dusted. Swept. Folded. Orginized. Threw away junk and clutter. Still has some work to be done but all together we did a fantastic job. Being sick is no fun and having someone there to help was good.

thanks Taylor :)

today is a good day. charis and shalom.
