NEW PLACES

Waking up in the dark awaiting the first glow of sunrise to head out and explore. The crisp air and the call of the gulls are familiar. But much is uncharted. Beauty and wonder are in the nuances of places — the smell of the salty air, the breeze that rustles the apple tree leaves and sea grasses, the subtle colors of early morning light. Each moment is different when we allow ourselves to be in the moment. The beauty of the run is in those moments as one moves swiftly, taking in the surrounding just as it is — free of inputted meaning. It is the tranquility of simplicity and life at its best.
