A Moment in the Morning
Went for my morning walk along an arroyo in the Bosque, a mild but steady wind swirling sand around me. I sat for a moment on a ridge level with the canopy of a Cottonwood grove as I felt the war between a sunbeam and my ice cold drink along my spine. Then it happened...Thousands of tiny Cottonwood seed fluffs floated in from behind me, swirling around my body as if curious, and then drifting onward through shafts of shadow and sunlight under the canopy. A thousand souls traveling from this world into the next one, and for a moment, my own soul yearned to follow suit. My life is what I made it, and, I can find happiness again if I remember to *live* instead of just existing. Fulfillment is only ever found in embracing moments like these, the gentle winds that forever carry one without fail through the light and shadows.
