Spaceships

It is time that I begin to write the things in my head down to the best of my ability and stop worrying about how it comes out or how it reads. These writings should be about passion and experience and not what people think. Writing is one of my gifts and I am inspired by my daughter to express it here.

So, the last few days I have been using my spaceships quite a lot. You see, we do not have to wait or wonder what it will be like to experience a spaceship, as the vast majority of us already utilize them on a daily basis.

I currently have four of them, one with four wheels and the other three have two each. We take for granted that we have these vehicles that propel us across the ground at incredible speeds along specially designed systems made especially for them, all while we control the climate inside, protected by the harshest of elements outside.

What used to take days, weeks, months and even years is now cut down to a mere fraction of the time, not to mention that a simple trip we do without a thought routinely killed many who attempted them in years gone by.

Oh, and i forgot to mention that we have entertainment systems inside that send out music or information on what is going on clear on the other side of the earth at the very moment that its happening.

I am grateful beyond whatever words I can write here for living the life I am. My desire to enjoy The Verde Wilderness is so greatly enhanced by the use of these marvelous machines. I am so fortunate to be situated in my living quarters right in the middle of this vast wilderness that I can make quick forays out into the open spaces and still be home in time for a nice hot shower and sleep in my own bed.

The last few days have been exceptionally beautiful. The winter of 2008 will not soon be forgotten as the weather continues to provide opportunities to see thongs that do not happen with any regularity. To look at a dry river bed for years and see only choking dust and water only in your imagination come to life for a brief few weeks is truly a marvel of the season. In an hours time I can span the central region of the north end of the beautiful Sonoran Desert above Phoenix Arizona and watch them run with the life giving waters of these winter storms. If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend you take the time to do so if you possibly can.
