learning to hunt

♡ ♡ ♡

we haven't done this in a while.
the best times are when...
 matt and i philosophized about time, space, and life in general
as we lay on rocks next to a stream of water leading to
a waterfall below us.



♡ ♡ ♡

 today, we stumbled upon a tree bridge!

☆ ☆ ☆ and another winter passes quickly by.  birthday wishes fulfilled. matt, most loving.  keeping the best memories secret. details explained later. new beginnings.

time was passed so easily

Matt and I re-visited a wildlife sanctuary. The last time we were here, it was spring. I probably wrote about it last year. Everything is so overgrown this time. Grass and shrubbery reaching well above my knees. The sound of insects buzzing and groaning. The bright, sun shining over us. It was warm, but it was nice. There were breezes.

Wonderful memories were made during my visit in New England. Scrabble games accompanied with good, but mostly bad/funny 90s nostalgic music. Attempted meditations. Indulgence. Re-living our childhood by playing "hide and seek" then "tag". Letting our imagination run wild. Being silly.

And so, this is how my summer ends.
But he will come back to me soon.
