learning for miles and miles

What a brilliant, cloudy day full of wonder, exploring, lots of coffee, hiking, lovely conversation, and a good 'ole friend. The day was spent with the beautiful Hannah as we wandered through the Miles Cemetery viewing miles upon miles of Illinois (gee, I wonder why they call it "Miles"), venturing over to one of the many bluffs in this area and hiking up to another incredible, breathtaking overlook. We met some ever so intriguing people, as we always somehow manage to do, and simply discovered new places, people, thoughts, ideas. I could go on and on about my dearest moments spent with this gem of a person. I certainly do have bragging rights to have a friend like her and I will especially cherish our explorations and conversations shared together.

Some things we discussed lead me to further contemplation on my own time; many of which I feel are topics and opinions to be shared, although today I won't elaborate too incredibly much of any sort, leaving the idea out in the open for other minds to contemplate as I did.

Beauty-There's truly something to be said about beauty. Or lack of something to say, rather. I hope to open eyes, including my own, to see things without judgement, with complete objectivity. I'm not trying to create world peace or anything, but I really do think that when the more people begin to see the world as it is, appreciate it, dare not to change people, and know oneself inside and out for the true beauty, flaws, imperfections, and the whole sha-bang they consist of, there will be a silent sigh of relief in the tiny world in this giant universe.
