Quiet night

I had a drink with a friend tonight, and listened, and watched her child play. And then I took my own child, my inner child, for a ride. I visited my favorite park, and relished in the swings for awhile. I rode along the quiet residential streets and slowed to nearly a stop so that I may bask in the gentle sound of crickets.

There's nothing like days of continuous rain to make a human appreciate a warm, clear night and the soft pink clouds of the sunset. It was then my energy was most clear, and true, the person I always want to be.

My soul fully resonating with the human container I occupy, nothing can harm me here. And I am grateful for it. I long to lie down in the thick green grass and sleep, wrapped in the warmth of self-understanding and listening to the sounds of the night.

THIS is who I am. THIS is my connection, my peace.
