Dusk, outside. Cocooned in the Robins lullaby call, I can feel the layers of the air shifting, humidity departing, inviting in the cool evening breeze. The ground crackles and pops, plant life both relaxing & holding strong; Insects resuming their nocturnal lives. I shiver, though my body radiates warmth. Much like the earth I am relaxing, evolving, adjusting. The trees emit a scent I am familiar with, one often found in the northern Cedar bogs. A deep breath, and another – until I can’t tell where one inhale starts and the next begins. A tear, made perfect just for my sweet pony slides warm down my cooling cheek. I cradle my calming Selenite, pure magic extracted from Earth. A firefly lights up, bursting in brilliance one moment, gone the next. My life resembles so much of this moment. Fragments compiled together to create one helluva landscape; each item with it’s own story. Both fixed in eternity and fleeting in my day to day. This moment is ending, much like it’s predecessors. The Robins have retreated to their treehouses and the Bats instantly appear as though to say, “Thanks, I’ll take it from here ” I take another deep breath and my body echoes a similar message: “You are ok, I have got you.” -JL
