Wild life

What are we?
What are we when we look up at the clouds?
What are we when we are in the clouds?
What are we when we sleep in the clouds - as I am tonight?

As for this moment,
as I write this,
I feel their wondrous, wispy wind
whip my back
as I sit and wait for the sun to retire
behind the mountain I observe.

Today
I am refreshed
with the realization
that it's a wild, wild life
that we live.

memorable quote by Cheryl Strayed

here's a quote that I once loved, forgot about, & then fell in love with it again upon rediscovering it: 

"You don't have a right to the cards you believe

you should have been dealt with. 

You have an obligation to play the hell

out of the ones you're holding 

and my dear one, you and I have been granted a 

mighty and generous one."
