Journal/ Day 5/ Switzerland Via Alpina
Switzerland 2022
July 5th
What lies in this unexpected place?
So fitting has been the night
wrapped in a blanket of dreams.
The images, already fading like
the stars, tuck themselves into
dawn’s vast array of colorful petals.
Awaiting your greeting,
I pause here.
Time after endless time,
it is you awaiting my greeting.
Your patience,
Your infinite ability to hold ‘space’
and, it is not a space that is
owned by anyone
—it is a shared,
an always changing spectacle.
Unfolding like flowers, wildflowers
strewn on a mountain’s pathway.
Spectrums of color face a sky
touching what only appears
at a distance.
There is no space keeping anything
apart.
Unexpected…
The miles that bring me to these
lingering thoughts.
No matter where I am
—life blossoming
—the unknown calling out
to ‘space,’
Here I am,
Here I am,
Here I am,
as I always have been.
Sounds like a dream, an absolute fairy tale journey in Switzerland. I love and appreciate your writing, and it’s depth. Thank you for sharing. And the drawing of the homes in the mountains? Timeless.
A fairy tale in EVERY way…and just think, we’re still walking ‘in’ its wonder upon returning HOME!!!
