See you next retreat!

See you next retreat!

Good bye to the most beautiful place I know

So long durango

Its been a good stay

Thank you for all you have allowed us to do

Thank you for the opportunity to meet new friends

Thank you for your mountains

Thank you for sharing your great peaks

Thank you for countless cups of coffee

Thank you for the chance to press myself past all my boundaries

Thank you for the sunrise and sunset

For the trees, forest and the air that we breathe

Thank you, durango, for your hospitality

I hope to return it somday

And thank you for the bad parts too

For the hill that left our sides aching

For the heart break and failures

For those who couldent make it through

For the good byes that wrench the hearts and jerk tears

Thank you for everything

My mountain

La plata

Durango CO

Good bye
