Now this is hard.  Having a pristine, fall-like summer day--temps in the low 80's and then when the evening hits--wind dying to a few mph--(what---maybe 5 mph?) and no one here to share it with.


Damn.


A walk out at the lake--the water pristine and sparkling under the setting sun, the ripples on the lake gently moving, yet so quiet...and no one next to me to take it all in, to agree that yes, this is one of those perfect days that defies reason, defies description and begs, literally begs for agreement from someone special and dear that "YES, this is a perfect day.  So glad you are near."  But no one is near.


Alone.


Damn.


But one day--yes, one day in my future--in the days to come--I am going to figure out how to bloom, how to reach out and share this beautiful world that I inhabit and when I do...


...no more beautiful pristine, absolutely perfect days (or nights) alone.  I will have someone who is just as enchanted and exhilarated as I am to share it with and to exclaim that indeed, this LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!
