I went for a walk today, and the wind rustled through dry yellow grasses taller than I. It skipped over the glistening waters of the ponds, which crested into peaks like a fine meringue. It danced with the hawk soaring overhead, which bobbed like a ship at sea with such grace. I stood and watched the markings on its underwing feathers and it joined me on my walk for a ways before winging off into the endless blue.
I went for a walk today, and as I rested for my meal a deer joined me from across the field, unaware of me, untroubled by me, utterly peaceful as it grazed. I watched as it sauntered through the dry yellow grasses to the top of the ridge and disappeared into the trees. I went for a walk today and couldn’t remember how to read the colors on a wooly worm. Will the snows be harsh or merciful this winter? Shame that this augury has escaped me. I went for a walk today and wondered why the shiny red beetle avoided the light as it wandered on the sides of my bottle. Perhaps its cherry color is severe sunburn. I went for a walk today and let the breeze blow through me. I went for a walk today and lived. (Photos at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve)
