Dear friends and family,

Lake Solitude is the most beautiful place in the entire world.

A poem:

Oh Lake Solitude,

Nearer is my soul to thee,

Than arms caressing,

In which to comfort and doze,

Bestilling my heart,

Like sunbeams on blue waters.

Oh Lake Solitude,

Nearer is my soul to thee,

Than eyes awaking,

Miraging pasts and futures,

Into timeless nows,

So longer than forever.

Oh Lake Solitude,

Nearer is my soul to thee,

Than breaths uplifting,

Whirlwinding maple seeds,

Into bright blue skies,

Turning, swirling, loving, You.

Stay well everyone,

Evan 💙

P.S. Photos will never suffice, but here are some of the rest from the single best day in the entire trip:
