A description
Here, March, 2012.
It’s lunchtime.
It’s winter.
As I park my car on Mapleton Ave and start walking to work with my knife kit on my shoulder, I look up and see the deep but light blue sky.
I also see the trees and its branches, with no leaves and the great big and present mountains behind. They are distant, but also very close and Still.
I smell the crisp and fresh air.
The air feels cool and very soft as it enters my throat and then my chest. I feel open and very awake.
The sun is shining, a clear and shy shine that blends in this winter day. The trees, antique house-roofs, plants, little animals crawling on the ground and mountains in the distance seem to sparkle with so much clearness that is present in the air.
Not a speck of blur is seen or felt.
Clear.
Fresh.
Young.
Alive. These are four words that describe this moment.
It feels as if there is a 5th dimension trying to show itself.
I cannot see it with my limited eyes, but I can feel it.
There is.
I smile as I feel it.
It is.
