She walked outside to feel that the earth was just beginning to wake. Very few cars, some bodies slowly making their way to campus and other various obligations. She had risen early and was hopeful for the hours to come.
When the weather dropped after dusk she was finally able to open the windows and cool down her 80 degree apartment. She walked around feeling like she was floating on summer, smelling freshly mowed lawns and clean air, listening to cars drive by from a distance. In just a few hours the trains would be going, they were beginning to feel like a lullaby that welcomed sleep amongst her worry-some late night thoughts.
It is a gift to know and to feel and to be, but sometimes during the height of the day it is easy for her to forget.
Hey- I love this, and I love you :) I was walking Chad the other day and everybody was mowing their lawns. It smelled like my Dad's yard and made me a little homesick. We had the best childhoods huh?
