Biting wind howled through the canyon, coupled with a cold shower of rain. It was the first rain of a thousand years.
And with it, brought a new beginning.

“Who am I?”
A question I had asked myself countless times over, but had never expected to find an answer to. I pressed a stalk of grass between my fingers wistfully, repeating the question to myself again. Somehow, I felt I knew the answer, but couldn’t quite grasp it. Finding it inspired me.
A ripple of wind brushed through the sky, whispering to the world before me. It was something I couldn’t describe in words, just tendrils of thought that snaked themselves into my mind every so often, and vanished without a trace.
It left behind something with much greater meaning. Something inexpressible with words, and too great a feat to understand.

I strive to learn as much as I can. To find an answer to all of my questions, and to find a reason to all of my answers. To gain experience and knowledge – something I have so much of, yet so little. I know I am just barely scraping the surface..
And I yearn for so much more.
So when will I get these answers? Will I learn them over time, or will it come to me all at once? Will I wake up one morning, and find it inside of me?
If I pray, will I receive an answer – or can I find it it myself?
Will I ever be satisfied with what I've got?
I can question everything, but I will never receive a straight answer.
Even if I could, I wouldn't want that.
It is something I hope I will never grow out of, because finding these answers always inspire me to be something much more than I already am.
It's strange..
But this feeling is amazing.

- Description: Boy I love writing. This brings back so many feelings. Wrote this two years ago? I was caught up in the thrill of figuring out who I was. Still am, actually. And it's one of the most amazing things I've ever dragged myself into. I've learned more than I could ever possibly HOPE to imagine, and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be able to experience this.

Pretty good (:
You remind me a lot of how I wrote a few years ago.
A small note, though; try to keep your verbs in the same tense. You have both "ed" and "ing" in the same sentence (: - Report As Spam
