Have you ever wondered what Architects do in their free time?

Sitting on the Tipping Point
Hesitation between Rest and Reckless Abandon
Shifting of weight forward, Gravity taking You
To that place where your Kidneys fly into your Lungs
That first BUMP that shortens your spinal column
But you don't care
YOU want MORE!
                                                                                               
The sound of Snow
Shifting from slushy sun softened
to icy crusty crunch of that,
still, in the shade
Finding that BURST of fresh Snow
Full on Powder Facial.

Cruising through the trees
Do I bank left? Do I bank right?
Brake. Lap full of Snow, Sopping Wet.
Cheeks sore from Laughter.
Please, screaming knees; carry me back up the hill.
Just One More, my mantra.

Again and Again
for that one thing
that will make YOU laugh uncontrollably
despite what life has thrown at you
that day,
week,
month.
In that moment,
everything melts away
leaving PURE unbridled JOY.
Happiness in its simplest form.

 

Why do I do this you ask?

I do this so when you invite me to help create a home for parents, children, and grandchildren alike: we capture the perfect views; designate space for keys as well as Christmas trees; AND if so desired, find that perfect combination of slope, speed, and trajectory for those memories of pure joy.
