"This Joyousness and dispersion of thought before a task of some importance seems to prove that this world of ours is not such a serious affair after all." -Joseph conrad

runaway


I had never ridden a horse before.

Shortly after leaving the compound we stopped the horses for a moment. My horse decided to keep walking down the trail.

“Alto!” I yelled, as I noticed we were starting to venture far from the group.

And she sped up, now walking a little faster down the trail.

Soon the brisk walk turned into a full gallop and before long we had turned down another path in the Ecuadorian jungle.

Despite my repeated pleas to stop, she kept running.

With no remaining options, I pushed myself from the back of that galloping horse.
