thoughts: today was a day in which joshua and i drove almost 8 hours from star, idaho to portland. i wasn't really dreading the drive. i actually looked forward to it. the trip itself wasn't long in the scheme of things (i took several 6 hour bus rides in spain) and josh wanted to drive the whole way. our time was spent conversing over a variety of things, surveying the landscape, and forgetting life's worries. i say forgetting life's worries because there are a lot of things on my mind. i have to try and figure my summer, how i am going to make it. i still haven't found a job to pay my extremely expensive rent (although my internship will be paying a bit more than previously promised) and i'm worried about graduating on time. although i've been really bummed out and frustrated with a lot, this nice long drive helped rid me of the things flooding my mind. the drive was mainly empty of human existence, just open and free. i focused on the empty hills and treescapes and tried to empty my mind as we passed miles and miles of countryside.
why i chose this photo: this was just as we got onto 1-84. josh told me to look out the window, and i just stared at this endless beauty.
question: what was/is your favorite drive?
inspiration: [i saw this on a church bulletin board and liked it]: "if there is any sort of storm in your life, just wait for god to make it into a rainbow."
Favorite drive, easy. Long drive to Omaha, Nebraska. Because I thought I knew what was on the end, but had no idea how big of a moment that trip would provide me with.
