When you live in the Heartland there is no ocean shore to walk to clear your mind. No sound of crashing waves. No feel of swirling water wrapping around your ankles. There are no majestic mountains to leave you breathless in wonder, begging your soul to draw near.

But, there's always the sky with brilliant sunrises that make you anxious to awake early each morning, glorious sunsets full of unimaginable color, starry dark skies and moonlit nights. 

I'm drawn to the sky. I look up and feel the connection. I'm in awe. The moon and stars are a part of me. I am a part of them.
