Our little plot of Asgard
Nothing quite tastes as sweet as a strawberry still warmed by the sun, or lettuce still freckled with dirt. I have a feeling the lady bugs know that as well. But we have no problem sharing. I have to give some love for the family, they sowed the seeds, broke the soil and situated the flora in la terra madre so that we could enjoy this bounty. Thanks guys, I can taste the love in every bite.

Exposing Expeditions
The world's philosophies are often split between Western and Eastern influences. Their ideals are the predominant forces in the yielding of modern consciousness. Both have made impacts on each other, and transcended the boundaries of their namesakes. Both hold their positive virtues and unfavorable leverage on the weight of the world. What was so interesting in the last few months of my life was the absence of both. I was in the geographical center of the two, but far from a crossroad. I had taken a step into the time machine and felt the preserved sanction distance can still beset upon a man. It was all completely new to me, and I saw it through an unbiased state of mind. Time was loose, but intuition was tight. Those dormant primal instincts embedded through my genetic coding were tapped and cultivated into a new courage, and new confidence in my own hands, feet, head, lungs etc. The people here are strong, they need to be. They're animals, and I say that with no disrespect. You have to be an animal, we are animals. The nobility in their strength was the eloquent harmony they shared with mother nature. They push when someone or something needs it, but they never shove. Never overstepping their means. They are a people with a natural divergence towards no disturbance, reveling in the frank divinity of the paradise that surrounds them.
The country exudes unimaginable beauty that any form of photo would struggle to capture in all it's essence. Justice is in the experience, and only in the experience can you find the real truth to my words. I can't exchange what actually happened, all I can do is try. What I experienced was an infatuation for the unknown; a constant consecration of awe. Nothing was mundane, and wonder was found in every activity. The work was simple and satisfying. The people were warm and inviting, and interesting above all. Their calm integrity showed in their comfort. They were in their element, and evolutionary refinement had given them all the tools and knowledge to capitalize. It was their paradise because they made it their paradise; for paradise is a state of mind. That's why it is nice to headed back to my element, back to my family, back to my life. Let's make this paradise.
