A Several Horse Town...

So I am sitting here at Filly's Roadhouse on the second day of this beautiful new year. Horses tied to the hitching posts as I came in, the smell of homemade fried chicken in the air. Everyone is drinking their beers out of Mason jars and it feels perfect. I feel alive. I feel real. I feel excited for something I cannot name. An older couple sits next to me arguing about not liking the same things. But I also hear a lot of laughter and some fun going on in the kitchen. I am finally open again, free to explore life and all it's surprises and mysteries. I wonder what those will be this time around? It's funny how the little things like a cactus wren whoop or a special view of my favorite mountain can raise my aliveness ten-fold. The beauty I have felt and experienced here in the last week has revived my soul. I know when I feel most alive. I know when I feel me thriving. Is it possible that I need the quiet of the desert or perhaps some kind of laughter to feel this? Do I need these external influences or is this something I can generate or allow anywhere? I wonder why it seems so difficult to manifest this feeling in my hometown? I wonder why it is so easy here? I love being in tune. I am so grateful for these days of heightened senses. I revel in them joyfully.
