I found myself driving on Paradise Valley Road while making my way back to Illinois from Yellowstone & the Grand Tetons. Another reason to be proud of a nation such as ours is the history and endless variations of scenery while driving cross country. And what could be more fitting than to come across a patriotic mailbox where the colors could not have been more outstanding?

The thunder in the distance sounded like a marching percussion ricochet hailing a storm either coming or going- I could not tell. And if it were to rain, I would welcome those tears from the clouds- in admiration for our Flag on Paradise Valley Road…

Sometimes, a clear sky becomes a blank canvas for those to paint their ponderings on what was, what is, or what could be. An even horizon line separated the ripples from the realities that we’ve faced, that we long to replace or remember and trace over and over again. In the wake of it all, I found myself still dreaming- gazing into what would seem to be Wyoming’s Window of wonder- beneath the sky and above the water, waiting for what would come next…
