I have been plotting an escape up to the mountains for a while now. But it never seems to work out.
I don’t want to leave just to have to turn around and come back. Too much on my plate, as my mom used to say.
So, until then, I dream. The mountain air mixed with the melodies of the rambunctious creek, always brings me peace.
