Aspen Wind Love Song |

I am not just another leaf blowing carefree in an Aspen wind, nor a Colorado cloud swiftly passing by high in a stormy sky. I'm as solid as the Rockies and forever as a perpetual stream. I'm not just a daydream or an imaginery midnight scream. Feel the real, I am stronger than Bethlehem steel, yet soft as banana creme pie, smoother than silk from a butterfly. I will be your tasty treat, this you will know when we finally meet in real touch time. I live. I breathe. I feel. I am real. And I am on my way to be with you, a bit'o honey kissed by morning's dew, a taste of sweetest wine, treasured taste of time, set aside just for you. |

This is more than a poem---it's a promise! I love the resolve in this, and it flows beautifully from your heart, into ours, and I am sure, HIS. |

YAY!!! Ooohhhhhhhh...this is soooooo gorgeous, sweet freind, I have been down to Aspen a few times, it is so gorgeous down there especially in the spring when the columbines and trees bloom and in the autumn when all is golden! (kiss on cheek) This is sooooo lovely, sweet friend, I would always love to visit you next time you come down to Colorado! YAY!!! We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

What heartfelt thoughts…somebody’s a lucky guy. Did I read right, that you’re moving to Colorado? I’m so excited for you as you turn the page to a new chapter of your life. But, be sure to still visit us here If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Serenity, thank you sister of heart. Noah, I've flown over ASpen. LOL, not as a leaf though. Not yet, anyway. Tracey, yes. 'Tis true, and midnitesun will always shine for you, 'though I may be forced to take a short break this summer. |

Sounds of a symphony of the heart. I could hear the flutter of butterfly wings, touch the clouds you so speak and feel your strength ... Freedom is a will... and it is in your hands. |

Marge, yes, a promise in the wind. JM, thank you sweet poet priestess. I am looking forward to taking this new step. Blues, hugs, and thank you. Yes, if I have to walk, I'll get there. Just kidding, I'm pretty sure I'll drive, or fly...by plane. |

Thank you, each and every one, for sharing these feelings with me. It would be really tough to say goodbye to the northern lights and all the wild beauty of Alaska if the destination wasn't so inviting. And if Love really does move mountains, that drive should be a snap. |

That is why we have the capacity to make memories, and I know you will carry this place in your heart. But I have to tell you where you are going is down right awesome too, and the perks are not too bad either Great write Kacy (and do a poem about her on the horse will ya?) She is adorable. Live today like it was your last day on earth! |

A captivating picture painted with your words. Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Thank you, all my wonderful friends here, for your comments and encouragement. I have to read this again myself, to keep my focus on the destination and the future. It's a major move for us, but even the obstacles in the pathway seem to be enticing us rather than discouraging us. It's all about taking chances and bold steps forward. My kind of quest. BTW, Hans Gatt just won the Yukon Quest dog sled race. He had strong fast dogs, good strategy, and Canadian luck. Congratulations, Hans, on winning your Quest adventure.
