Cool, Crisp, Envigorating Mountain Air

Having arrived two days ago, and having gotten my "mountain legs" back from a year of absence, my spirit is elevated to peak level once again. I know there are lots of great destinations for people to make vacations, but I can't seem to get enough of the Rocky Mountains. Walking mountain paths, with a gentle, warming sun beating down upon a slightly cool and crisp ground level atmosphere. Pine trees and wild flowers, birds of prey overhead, snow capped peaks in the distance and a small pedestrian town bent on environmental consciousness....not hardly a speck of litter anywhere to be found. This is Frisco, Colorado. I'm here for a month this time, having made the two day ride on my old Yamaha. So satisfying to have gotten off the interstate and unloaded my bags. My life now is free enough that I could seek employment here, but my primary allegiance is to the monastery where I have lived for the past five years. So this is merely a first class extended vacation at best.
