what's awesome?

Running towards the wind 

and feeling it collide against your face. 

Your feet touching the familiar asphalt.

Legs and body moving faster and faster

in perfect synchrony with the wind.

As you move forward

the tracks begin to open,

wider and wider.

The feeling of possibility

suddenly fills you and 

as it bursts into a smile

that perfect song comes on -

you're defying gravity.

When you finally realize that

nothing and no one can stop you,

collapsing on the green grass

becomes a happy celebration.

Because lying there and looking up

at the night blue sky with 

the grayish white clouds that

designed your childhood

you are reminded 

just how beautiful your life is.

Sometimes all it takes is looking at it 

from a different point of view.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the sky tonight,

but imagine lying on this field and looking up at this sky.

It'll give you a good idea of what I saw, and perhaps, what I felt.

Grateful and blessed.
