Simple Pleasures
She sat, and she watched as the world spun further, further away. It was unlike anything she could ever have imagined! The gentle thump-thump of her heart, the soft caress of sunlight on her exposed skin, and the cool sigh of the wind through her hair and it all seemed to lull her into a state of such peace. The smell of damp earth, rich and heady, rose up on the currents of air intensified by
the light shower and deep, rolling fog that had come with the faint hues of morning. The semi-translucent substance reached out tentacles to wrap sturdy oaks and dip between the boughs of tall pine, leaving sparkling dew on the fresh green shoots of new green life. The rising Sun burned the insubstantial fog away and cast the rain afar. The glowing rays painted the velvet darkness turned silky, blue
sky with oranges, reds, and gold. She'd never had the time to relax and study the transcendence of night to day, to watch the Sun's slow progression above the horizon and it was truly…breathtaking.
