I keep having this vision of riding in the back of a pickup truck with my legs dangling over the bed, traveling down a long stretch of dirt road with dry, wild grass boarding the road and spreading as far as the eyes can see. It's a warm day and sunlight casts a golden sheen on everything. I have jeans and cowboy boots on and there's a soft cloud of dust following behind the truck. It's a vision I've seen for years and every time I see it my heart immediately grows homesick. I don't understand it. I saw it again last night.
