The afternoons are ripe for running again. Sun just warm enough and wind so cool against my sweaty skin that I get goosebumps all over when it blows and I keep on going. The day runs over and over and I leave little bits of it behind with each hop and leap over the twigs on my trail. I squint at the sun and it sparkles through the blond tips of my eyelashes. I clear my mind of mud and put in it's place what I'd like to go there instead. I see smiling children with lightly tanned shoulders and sunbleached hair from a long summer. Smiles brought forth by acceptance, healthy bodies from so much time and care spent. My life's work up till now, the single most important contribution I will put forth and I am smiling. I am grateful for life's gifts, those which I've been given and those which I have to give. It's the connection between us I treasure most, without it I wouldn't have had even half a life. One lucky girl.
