Yesterday I was climbing a tree at Barnum Park, which is on the top of a hill near my house. I could see hundreds of miles of the Rockies on one side, on the other, most of the Denver metropolitan area followed by hundreds of miles of flat land. It was seriously beautiful. All I could think about was how majestic all of God's creation is.
I said, Thanks for creating so much beauty in this world, God. I just want to see all of it!
And He said- Well then go see it. That's what I made it for. You're an artist too, that's why you love seeing others' creation. I put in you this longing to experience the whole world, act on it.
I was completely at peace, and filled with joy. The greatest artist of all time is my friend, and he has a bunch of art that he made just for me and my brothers and sisters. He made all of this just for us!!
So. I'm beginnning the next step of my journey to see the world. I'm trying to avoid doing any of the planning myself, so I don't miss any of the things God has in mind, but the first gallery will be Texas. I'm not sure exactly what sort of beauty is beheld there :) Just kidding,
There is a lot-
Ron, Bev, Joshua, Lori, and Daniel of course, who I would love to see. We'll be headed to Houston, so I'm sure we could stop in Lubbock. Will ya'll be around in about 2-3 weeks?
There's also my friend Andy Baker, who lived with us here at the community for a few months, and lives in Houston now. Also, lot's of money to be made driving pedicabs for the rodeo. Then, it's on to Austin for South by Southwest music festival to see Explosions in the Sky!
We don't have anything planned after that, but we (JakeRyan, Andy and I) will be traveling by bicycle from then on. Possibly up the Pacific Coast to Canada...

What a great story, Micah! Thanks for sharing! I love you!
Yeah, the scenery in NW Texas isn't so pretty, but I can say that because it is so flat, there are beautiful sunsets!
When are you planning on coming this way? We'll be here! I'm sure there'd be room for you to stay at my parents'. And Joshua lives in Houston, and they have plenty of room, too.

Oh good, I can appreciate a good flat land sunset. I'm guessing we'll be there around the 18th or 19th of this month. I'll keep you updated.
Micah, you're so cool! Please, please, please write a book someday about all this amazing stuff you do!
Em said it, you are so cool, Micah! I admire your adventurous spirit and willingness to go along with whatever God has planned for you! And I'm with Lori on the flatland sunsets - I think the humidity really helps too.
well it turns out i won't be passing thru NW texas after all. my traveling partners have all canceled on me. so i'm going to have to take a different route thru el paso and then east from there.
