Against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, I learned to fly.  A blanket of fresh undisturbed snow lay on the ground as I looked out on the horizon, afraid to disturb the peace with my selfishness.  I took the first steps that would venture me into a realm that I had previously only witnessed from afar.  The journey would send me to the dangerous space of the revelation of myself, and ultimately sent me tumbling toward the earth to be here with you.
