In the name of the Colony!

Well I am off to the wondrous land of Rexburg for this fine fourth of July weekend. It is going to be filled with white water rafting, boating, mtn. biking, fireworks, sushi and more. I don't think anyone really knows, understands, or appreciates all that Idaho can offer until after you have lived there. Every place has it's good things. I bet it is even better in the summertime. Hope all of you have a great Fourth. I proclaim this fourth of July, Independence Day... in the name of the colony! (ha ha...just a little inside joke with my meanest friend! :)) Have fun, be safe, work hard, play hard! Peace out- KATE

Random Typing

Summer has been crazy! I pictured myself in a totally different place in my life than where I am at. Don't get me wrong... where I am is great and beautiful it is just not what I thought it would be like when I pictured it last summer. I work about 8 hours each day with my dad's real estate group doing odds and ends at the office. It's not what I prefer(Outside playing) ha ha... but it pays well and am getting things done. I seem to have all sorts of things to accomplish and never seem to get it all done. But I have narrowed down what I am doing for a while. First I am getting all my pictures organized and then throwing out all the clothes I don't really need. It feels good to get organized. It makes me feel like I have gotten rid of alot of baggage that I held on to for way too long. I am reading and writing and playing of course.
My health has been so so I guess. Something funky is going on though. Both of my Meniscus's are torn apparently in both of my knees, I am having muscle pains in my right shoulder and left leg, my eyelashes keep on falling out(now about three or four times a month) and such... I just feel old in a way. I got aches and pains but nothing to where I wont do what I love. I still hike, bike, climb, swim, just play really. I am thinking the pains will go away and with proper training my knees should heal. Eyelashes? Well I am seeing a doctor about that soon. Life is good. Life is fun.
This past week I was in Calgary, Alberta helping at a real estate investing seminar. On break I was able to go walk around for a bit and loved it. As I walked pass a blues band playing in the open street and seeing random little shops selling their handcrafted things I could not help but love it. It was refreshing. I every now and again get flash backs of walking around random streets like these with very distinct people that I remember. Not that they really did anything too significant but they were there. I like it. It's like a story to me. A movie. But I am the only one that gets to see it. It amazes me how many people there are... All from different places, different backgrounds, lives... It is so interesting. And for one moment I got to step into their world and catch a glimpse of it.
All right I have written alot and boring... Peace out.

Happy Fathers Day!

Eye Bald

Anyone know why somebody's eyelashes would fall out? I have no idea...

Library study

As the shady sun glides across

I looked, I stared, I saw...

I REALIZED

Looking straight into the face of pure escapement and deep understanding

and I asked, "Where am I?"

Searching, analyzing, the hinesight of the innermost me

this being didn't say a word... Silence.

But looking deep with in it's endless sight I felt and knew.

Wrote this after coming home from school one day last September. I just had a long talk with a really good friend of mine and asked her for some simple words. This just came after.

"Lets Play"

Let me point out another reason I have the coolest family in the world. Tonight we had are annual "Pay Family Picnic." (That's my whole mom's side) We were one of the first families there and I was bored. So Anna and I played in the river and then hands up stands up.... but the best was when I decided to play on the playground... WITH MY GRANDMA! She went down the slide with me and all. I love it! I love it! I love it! I hope I am like that when I get to be her age. :) Cheers to family!

What I have!

These are the times when nothing else compares to what you have... When you can laugh on hours with out end about something so totally insignificant and tears roll down your cheeks. When you can say and do with out feeling the slightest bothered by who else watches. When all the jumbled mess of what doesn't really matter dissapates and you have those around you who really do matter. When you can sit back and enjoy doing nothing because you are with the people whom you love the most. I love you family. At moments like these... I know what I am thankful for.

"It wouldn't hurt so bad if I didn't like him."

I'm Comfy

The saying- "It's all about comfort." Is it? I mean with out getting out of our comfort zones a lot would be unknown, unnoticed... Right?

Kathleens "project"

And as our eyes meet
the crevices encircle my glance and
cling to my soul.
Warm and mysterious
hovering closely as melting fire.
You open your mouth and swallow me whole.
Folding and gathering bundles of dreams
letting them seep one by one into the unimagined.
And as our eyes meet
Known is exactly.
You've seen me...
I smile.

Don't really know what to think... its in a "process" of it's own.

Lies?

I heard someone say, "If your thinking distorted you are thinking a lie." Is that true though? I mean are you really thinking a lie? Because if you already are thinking differently than what should probably be percieved... well unless you know it is a lie than you just don't have all the information? I don't know... just thoughts.
