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.
