Exultation

Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses- past the headlands-
Into deep Eternity-

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

-Emily Dickinson 

The Sunshine State

This is the view I have from work, every day. An open door, a cloudless sky, a gentle breeze, and a beautiful lake. 

Eat your heart out, Kansas.
