Just when you think all of humanity is lost... mother earth surprises me. I left my cubicle, 5' X5' to feel the breathe of sunshinny air! It is cloudless bright blue skies finally. I thought I would just walk around the building to get a breather, but I remembered that there was a "trail" into the woods that borders the back parking lot, where I eat lunch every day at a picnic table. I soon became a character of Bridge to Terebithia.... no swing... but this vast jungle of wild flowers, overgrown grapevines and gnarly trees. The path was nothing more than a crease in the weeds, but to me it was a release from professional-dom and an enterance to energy and childhood. As I walked the energy of living came flooding back and I am just filled with happiness. It was a great adventure for a sleepy afternoon.
