Off the Grid

I feel a great lightness of being. It's fun wandering off without the nuisance of social media and tagged photos involuntarily documenting after you. Reverting to pre-internet outings makes me feel inexistent, without shadows nor footsteps. Sometimes I feel like a breeze in the wind and all of the sudden life is easy again. I need to remind myself this.

2014 had its beautiful moments. Too many to count.
