Becalmed

Walk Into the Light
Originally uploaded by Slightly Cynical.

On certain eves a wind evaporates; clouds disappear and moonlight fills a previously blackened sky with soft light and tone.

The air fills with pungencies of flowers, trees, even a nearby bay. You are within a world beyond -- a world unharmed by storm or care. The nowness of place and time is poignant.

Like an ancient mariner you are becalmed. You are in a perfect state of being.

Yonder lies your future. Here lies the present. Enjoy the present.
