the invitation is yours to accept or deny.

what comes next is simple. when june comes i am going to pack up and move to california. throughout the summer i plan on playing in the fountain of youth which is promised on the west coast. i have every intention of scaling the heights of the matterhorn and biking through the desert in death valley, viewing the most golden state from top to bottom. as the fall hits and school begins the season will fail to change as it has for the first twenty odd years but the summer will end. as the days and nights progress it will be laid back, focused schooling and open dreaming. weekends in yosemite and the abandoned beaches of the northern california shore soaked in sunshine. when my time is done two years from now i will kiss it all goodbye and possibly start planning to return someday. the summer following graduation i will spend in transit, living nomadically across these fruited plains until i wash up on the eastern sea board and seek refuge in the mountains. for the first time in two years the seasons will change, and graduate school in upstate vermont will be a welcome season. here there will be weekends in the big cites: montreal, quebec, toronto, and boston. the winter will be harsh, but the windows will hold views of the adirondacks in the west and the green mountains in the east, both ranges looming like sedentary giants closing the skyline. when the time has expired in the east, it will be time for a return to the heartland, maybe. maybe, not. i am only twenty years old, but this is where i will be when i am twenty five, i can not speculate as to where i will want to go. however, i will speculate as to i won't be sick of you yet, so the invitation is yours to accept or deny. act accordingly.
