wild and precious

I get this way every once in awhile.

This wondering what's happening on the other side of the world.
This wanting to see it for myself.

This crushing need for adventure.
This nostalgic gratitude for my simplicity.

This reminiscent mindset.
This peace like a river.

This urge to write quotes on mirrors and window frames.
This humor when I've done so in permanent marker.

This appreciation of house and home, faith and family.
This desire to make it all bigger.

This pride for plans and dreams.
This determination to make it all happen.

Tell me, what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life...

I plan on living it this way.
