"...the aurora borealis"

Having resided here in Montana for (I'd say) a month and a half now, I've had my up's and down's. Relationships (...oh boy) are never easy and I can finally understand what my parents went through in their own marriage. You see, the thing is (not to over-philosophize this)... we're all humans. Really, that's all there is to it. We're either designed, conditioned or nurtured differently, more so for me seeing that I was raised in the Eastern hemisphere, later migrating to a Western one.

I'm a productive and efficient individual. Those are my strengths. I put logic, rationality and common sense above all else, which isn't always the most resourceful (or recommended) way when it comes to being a husband. Things here are more... (let's just say) "laid back", and dare I say, I'm starting to integrate to their way of living.

Maybe it isn't exactly the ideal type of marriage I had in mind, but fate has a way of opening my eyes to appreciate the simpler things in life. It's the whole "we get so caught up in the rat race of life" analogy that I'm about to preach, so I'll spare you that.

One word - resilience.

The food here is... beyond words. Things I usually wouldn't be able to buy at the grocery store back home are right around the corner here. Though fattening, they taste out of this world. And since I have an extremely high metabolism, I never have to worry about letting myself get out of shape. =P

A few nights ago, I witnessed something... spectacular.

I saw the aurora borealis (northern lights).

It lit up the night sky with a tidal green glow. Since young, I've always been mesmerized by such (...what I believe to be) breathtaking cosmic intervention. It also came about unexpectedly. My babe had to pull me away from playing a game on my computer to gaze upon the fascinating lights.

Guess that means I can check it off my bucket list.

I'm not about to go all 'Eat Pray Love' on you, but... if you take your time to grow up, invest more in spiritual benefits (like being in the moment, living in a world of limitless possibilities) rather than materialistic gains, and take leaps of faith (even ones that seem ridiculously thoughtless and treacherous), you'll reap an abundance of internal blissfulness.

At the end of the day, we really only ever live once, so who is to say we can't live rowdily, love recklessly and run wildly?
