I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling Or of catching fire I choose to inhabit my days To allow my living to open me Making me less afraid More accessible To loosen my heart So that it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise I choose to risk my significance. To live so that that which comes to me as seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which comes to me as blossom Goes on as fruit. --Donna Markova

No...I Didn't Fall Off The Face of the Earth...Just Into A Valley In CO`

Hey all...long time, huh? Well, I'm doing amazingly well here in CO...I can't believe I only have four more weeks or so before I have to leave this place...I feel like I've found a part of myself here that I knew existed, but could never access before. I apologize to all of you who I haven't kept in touch w/ this summer...living life every second kind of got in the way--I miss you all though, and I can't wait to see everyone. On that note...I think my pre-England visit to campus may not happen b/c my family and I are going to San Diego for a week and then I have to pack and chill and get ready. But I'll have a phone, so I'm sure we'll talk.

Did I mention that I got bucked off of a horse and bought a guitar all in the same day...but I'm trying to get more diligent w/ practicing but things seem to crop up every night and I work all day. I'm going to have my guitar forever, and I don't want to stay home on my last nights at the ranch b/c I'm busy practicing.

Did I mention that I have fallen in love w/ Chris Ledoux? My favorite song at the moment is Tougher Than The Rest.

And I sat the trot for about half the time when I went riding this morning.
