From The Inside Looking Out

I've been stuck on the outer edges of the rabbit hole for the past few months, with only memories of my stay along Araguaia in July to keep me going. I find myself staring out the window, more & more... or immersed in National Geographic's site - imagining i am elsewhere. Having grown up in a city where i could easily slip away into nature [& peace] several times a week; i've noticed that when i go for too long without an escape from the concrete jungle, i instead slip into depression. Where, oh where, is the eject button??

Our second storm of the season just rolled in, with a little drizzle. Our first storms of the season are usually much more eventful, but this muted respite from the heat perfectly matches my temperament of late...

I found this photo of our last evening along the Araguaia in July. The ducks are unknowingly headed the wrong direction. The smoke along the bottom of the left corner of the pic will soon overtake the entire sky, as a result of land clearing efforts at a nearby ranch.

I feel like this picture is symbolic of a lot of aspects of my life, lately... Only God knows what tomorrow's sunrise will bring. I know i can rest easy tonight on that, alone.

What about you? What has been going on in your world?
