Tuesday, October 27, 2020 - “Rocky Mountain High” - Elizabeth Lerman

I drive through the Rocky Mountains and listen to John Denver sing what I am seeing and the grays and blues of the sky threaten both rain and sun and the February chill has frosted my window but I have to feel the air on my skin and so I drive, with the windows down, through the narrow Rocky roads and I let the wind sting my cheeks and smile at the crispness of the pain. Let the wind break me down, let the cold slice my skin and when I bleed let the mountains feel it. I am alone and I love it. What a moment I am sharing with myself.
