Day 62 - Saturday, July 24: Musings from Chris

Written By David Green

There are moments i almost can’t bare that you are not here with me, taking in all this ancient beauty. I saw a dozen or so Bison/Buffalo today, domesticated and still thoroughly majestic. There is no difference between the two.

My ignorance is gently evaporating, followed by many moments of self absolution.

I can’t believe you’re not here with me sitting in dumbstruck silence, energy ricocheting in the trucks cab. Tears beginning to puddle on the surface of our eyes, just before the hackneyed words come, or out of mercy, humility or a little of both, the words fail to come and: we let-silence speak.

Does something always need to be said ? The things I catch out of

the corner of my eye, would blow your fucking mind. I tremble a little while I drive and we’ve only just got in to Nebraska.

Banished words -

I’ll slap myself for not editing.

Except when a quote or ironic.

Crazy, Insane, nice, awesome, very, really, amazing, wow, great, epic, incredible, more to come.
