"FREEDOM" the literal theme for this past weekend.Well,a friend(chanti) and I decided that we should get more acquainted with Florida nature.Sufficient to say that we got a little more acquainted with nature then we both hoped(this is not a complaint.)Accompanied by friends and new friends Miami's camping team was made up by:the core(cory),julian the great,one eyed open liz, and johanna the enthusiast. Upon our arrival to Markham camp grounds we had this silly allusion that we would not be around water(mosquitoes),just grass lands.We.Were.Wrong.Next to our camp ground we were accompanied by a canal..filled with sweet sweet gators( sarcasm intended.) This was not going to stop our adventurous hearts.We proceeded to make up our tent,hammocks and fire..we succeeded.Maybe the fire was questionable?.
Nonetheless the rest of the night into the next morning was filled with many laughs,way funny comments(ahmm julian),jokes,deep conversations,smores,turkey burgers,Snapple,and always invited music. At one point in the night I caught myself quietly looking around at the laughing faces I was surrounded by and thinking..this.is.freedom.To share those laughs with creation around I knew the world is as it should be.
I was reading my friends blog and he happen to post a quote that I love by David Henry Thoreau In regards to exuberant and natural living:"go fish and hunt far and wide day by day - farther and wider - and rest thee by many brooks and hearth sides without misgiving. Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Rise free from care before the dawn and seek adventures. Let the noon find thee by other lakes, and the night overtake thee everywhere at home. There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played. Grow wild according to thy nature... let the thunder rumble... let not to get a living be thy trade but thy sport. Enjoy the land, but own it not... we should come home from far adventures, and perils, and discoveries, every day with new experience and character."
