I walked along the rain drenched road
after a late summer storm...trusty black lab by my side. My thoughts
started to wonder about baking and businesses and family....Started
out so simply with a new pie idea as I walked casually along...the
road got darker thick with woods...I spotted a dead snake and a
smushed frog.. and just like that my mind took off to some cold
recess of my mind.
I started to think of things lost and
things not finished. I moped about until there it was.... the beautiful
ocean around the bend.
My mood improved but not
totally.....Sometimes when I see things so beautiful like an old
white farmhouse in a huge field with bright yellow flowers I get so
completely overtaken with a cross of sadness and happiness. I
started to get that oh so familiar feeling of ease and unease or
feeling happy in my skin and wanting to crawl out of it all at
once...loving where I am and wanting to be somewhere else.
I started missing...and I think its
always a someone but its not...its a combination of every person I
miss...every person I miss along my walk of life...
And you all start walking beside me in
this long line that spreads across the rain soaked road, and up into
the woods and down to the beach....we all are silent and just look at
one another, and look at the water and nod in approval.....And I
begin to feel comforted by this...that everyone is with me but I
don't have to talk...that you are all there beside me...all enjoying
this beautiful state even if you are not in it....
