and days later megan retaliated by writing this:

Highbeams tickle the edges of all i can see. Anticipation rises as my destination is set. Cool crisp air kisses my cheeks as i step out of the car to see more than i hoped for. A brilliant light flashes through the night as it fades as quickly as it ...appeared; leaving a streak in the blue sky. A falling star, a wish is made. More follow in suit. High hopes are met and this is where dreams begin.

Midnight Adventures

Possibilities are endless with a full tank of gas.
A mission for movies takes us away from home.
Road trips aren't about the destination.
Good tunes and good company, just like your dad said.
We miss our exit on purpose,
miles passing as the playlist runs down.
We keep driving as the invisible moon hangs overhead.
The eternal stretch of highway leads us past field after field;
escaped cows and mile markers.
We laugh and head bang.
Spontaneity continues to take over.
Pulled off to the side we star gaze with blankets,
butterfly knives, and cell phone flash lights.
The milky way more than makes up for frozen cheeks.
Silence consumes us as the air chills.
Our journey continues,
the city lights blinking behind us like stars.
Silly superstitions are always a laugh
and we hold our breath and lift our feet
as cattle grates pass below our tires.
Every mile a stolen pleasure, we chase tail lights, escaping civilization.

i found this picture on facebook--i think one of Thayne's friends had it posted-and i just fell in love with the amazing colors and contrasts and the light piercing the sky and everything. had to share it--even though it wasn't mine in the first place.

this is a picture my friend Megan took while hiking/exploring this afternoon. i loved the perspectives included in the shot. thought she did an incredible job.
