Rocks. They bring happiness upon my life.

Do you know those moments when your life is simply perfect? When the temperature is just right, you can hear nature calling you towards the vast land of the unknown, and what you see beyond yourself is the world. On my good days, when every thing seems to be going just right, I am very happy to tell you all that I have these moments. Although, luckily for me, they last longer than a "moment", but not long enough...

The other day, my friend and I felt like exploring, or just doing something that made our lives amazing as kids. We remembered that a few years ago, all we did was climb this small mountain of rocks. When we were younger we did it to rebel, as we weren't allowed to be up there, but now that we are older, I think we did it to remember that even if we are in fact older, our minds, and the way that we live, does not have an age.

So we climbed. What used to take us an hour, only took 2 minutes. That might of taken some of the magic away from the experience, but it did not leave a mark on the beauty. When we reached the top, as always, we had 2 feet of sitting space before a fence blocked the rest. We made do with what we had, got comfortable on a pile of rocks, and just looked out to the view.

Before us was a river flowing, trees swaying and the sky slowly getting darker. The birds were chirping and the bugs were calling out to one another. As it got colder, my heart got warmer, and I was sinking into a nice blanket of happiness. Sitting there with my best friend, the combination of cold and warm, and the sound of nature surrounding us.. It was just perfect.

But, all good things must come to an end. A bat quickly flew in front of us, ruining the perfect moment. We raced quickly down the mountain, starting a little avalanche and a sea of laughter. It was the funniest and scariest thing. What made it so special, was it was almost like we were kids again.

We rebelled, climbed the mountain, but instead of adults getting mad, and making us come down, it was a bat. Either way, we had an experience that I'll want to revisit for years to come... Maybe with out the bat.
