There is something so romantic to me about the Great Plains. Something that reassures me that I am meant to be here and that everything will be okay. Each day from the present on is one day closer to me having my own land staked out among this prairie, closer to my dreams being realized.
"Oklahoma is a tallgrass prairie and everlasting mountains. It is secret patches of earth tromped smooth and hard by generations of dancing feet. It is calloused hands. It is the aroma of rich crude oil fused with the scent of sweat and sacred smoke. It is a stampede, a pie supper, a revival. It is a wildcat gusher coming in. It is a million dollar deal sealed with a handshake."
Oklahoma is a place where wile and wit are still the difference between success and failure. A place wide and open and free.
Oklahoma, to us, has become our land of opportunity, and although I dont plan on living here forever, it will always hold a place in my heart.
