As good an excuse as any

"If you are weary of endless prattle, empty words, harsh noises, selfishness, people so engrossed in their ego that they cannot see the loneliness and emptiness of another's life - - if you seek refuge where there is peace and joy, come to me."
"Fill your eyes with the starlight before you start homeward. Apologize to no man for these stolen hours away from so-called duty. Say only, if pressed, that you have walked with God in the Hills of Newton County."

A book that came to me from a charity book drive at the office yesterday. It's funny sometimes how the universe tells you exactly what you need to do at just the right time. I miss the hills and home and dirt and horses and shovels and dirt bikes and the creak of Old Blue's doors.
