blur my view,
mess with my mood.

Inside, confined, my seat belt tugging. Cool air moving, touching my face. I turn to the right, to the view outside. A wooden fence that went on forever and lush green grass clover countryside.
A light misty rain.
And a fast moving glimpse of today.
[I wasn’t driving, just aimed and clicked.]

Random, careless. Trunks scattered helter skelter. You can’t help but wonder how it felt here when these tall trees came down. The ground shook, for sure. But look around. Saplings sprouting from felled logs. Leafy vines winding a tangled trail over it all. A beautiful, wild, living, thriving, Jumanji-style, bright green mess.

You and me.
Let’s sit a minute.
Let’s rest
and dream.
Exhale.
Let’s pause and pretend
life is as easy as this breath of serene.
