The Beauty of Europe...Oh how, as an Artist I long to be a wanderer!

I sit here in my beautiful studio apartment, with all of it's character in awe of where my life has taken me, and excited for where it is about to take me. I am filled with a passion so deep, so real that I feel as though I might rip through the seams of my soul. Oh how I want to go back to the place where a lot of my self discovery first started: EUROPE... How romantic it was! So beautiful. What is it about the European lifestyle, architecture and landscape that makes it so charming? Is it that they have somehow preserved their history so well? All I know is that I am in awe of God's creation when I am there. Not that I am never in awe of the beauty of the world here in North America, but there is something different about the many small countries all huddled together, yet all speaking a different language. I thirst for the culture. I long for the language. I ache for the rolling green hills, the vineyards, the Mediterranean coast, the Swiss Alps. I would be happy to wander the streets penniless in Europe, completely excited about not knowing where I would spend that night. Painting, writing, taking pictures, eating good food, and PRAISING GOD for what he has made is SO BEAUTIFUL! I don't want to waste my life sitting in an apartment, waiting for tomorrow, so that can be over, and it can finally be Friday. I want to live in each moment, experiencing everything like it is brand new. How wonderful it would be to not worry about money! To just wander...indefinitely...every once and a while returning to the beauty of my home in the mountains...ahhhhh...
