Moving meditation...

stride and sky
8
One of my morning runs, what a view.

           Moving Meditation 

When I lace up my sneakers
possibility is en route
lime canvas of greens
embraces me
my feet praise the trail
each stride 
breathtaking, 
forgiving

Water winks
a "V" shape glides
could it be?
my legs surge ahead
she paces me
a delight for the early risers
a master builder,
her lodge in view across the bank

I marvel at her skills
Each stick, twig, mud, and rock
where it needs to be
mile 15
I keep going
What do I see?

a great blue heron
waits, 
only later will I marvel
at his wingspan
as he soars 
above the water
a mighty reflection

Small yellowish figures
hover under their mother's wing
father hisses
no time to admire
feet stride on
as I run with the sky

Thank you for being here,

Next Monday, I will take off to honor Memorial Day. I'll see you back here next Thursday. Here’s a writing prompt to give a go until then:

Tell me what did you know that you didn’t want to know?

We will resume our Monday write-togethers on June 2 at 11 am EST. I look forward to seeing you then in our Zoom room.


Writing with others is such a gift. Thank you for being here with me online and in person.

Take good care,

Julie
