We drove up, up, up on winding roads in moving fog. We ascended so high into mountains that a lake of clouds lay beneath. We visited Mountainside on the mountainside and saw some friends I had forgotten to remember lately. We followed trails through the woods, asking each other what the other would do if they were in the Hunger Games, and we got a little sunburned. We got lost in a labyrinth of colored string and left with a bag of yarn and stories of French Huguenots and abandoned "ghost families." Lakeside, we took note of everything and peace was near in gentle waves and swimming mallard ducks and the sweetest breeze that dances with your hair. We ate the most delicious Himalayan food I have tasted in thirty years of life. And we drove, down, down the winding roads in setting sun, back to home to sleep in our own bed.

We went away to enjoy some time remembering a special day

last year when we shared some of our most joyful moments together,

 surrounded by beloveds on a wonder-filled wedding day.

We traipsed around San Diego, explored sparkling harbors, found

delightful places to eat too much, and forgot about watching the time.

Celebrating lovely joy and being so thankful for what we have in us.

2. Basilique Sacré Coeur / Montmarte - Paris, France

stair-climbing, city-scaping

a sudden hailstorm surprise, and we all rush for sanctuary

but a strand of rainbow cuts through the sky in simple poetry

and it all seems even more true
