Go West Young Man

Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country. - Horace Greeley

Knew I had to. Get out there. West. For a summer, at least. Breathe in the mountain air. Leave my cares back in Mississippi and drive up into Wyoming. Time away from everyone I knew and everything that I was. Up to the mountain. She helped me gain perspective. To see clearly. To witness a bit of God’s green Earth west of the River. I headed back into the valley knowing I’d seen clear to the other ocean. And it was time to get on home.
