This Day Has Been Very Kind

This day has been kind to me. Not so for many others, but it has been kind to me. We walked in the canyon, and we waded in the cool waters, and we let the sun beat down on us.

So now I sit down as the light of day fades. A light breeze blows thru the leaves of the trees overhead, and black silhouettes of Live Oaks against the fading light of the western sky beckon to two Herons squawking and flapping as they fly their way home.

I sit down in the dusk, in the breeze, to watch the darkness descend on this place. The purples and yellows and pinks of the wildflowers fade to gray. The glowing green of the grass dims.

Night settles in. And one by one, the yellow glow of lightning bugs fills the air around me.
