Sensation

Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers,
Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue:
Rêveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds.
Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue.
Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien:

Mais l'amour infini me montera dans l'âme,
Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien,
Par la Nature, - heureux comme avec une femme.

Arthur Rimbaud, 1880

When the nicest bikers and the coolest couple write a couple of sentences about how you met, you realize you were doing something right. Alissa and Andy stopped to offer us water and help in the middle of the Uzbek desert and just before we got hit by a sand storm. Thanks for the lovely words guys! Missing our worldwide random encounters.
