golden....

golden...that is the word I will use to describe the moon this morning...

.....I woke up at 405...not the best time..but good because I needed to run at 5.....I lay in that half sleep thing that I do when maybe maybe...I might rest or I might rise....at 425...up....up...up.......the golden haze that covered my yard beckoned me to come out......I stepped into the garage and felt the cold hit my face......I lay my things on the seat by my side..and set the alarm and drive to the park......I wait in the darkness for the others to arrive...we whisper and shiver in the coolness.....

I always start out too fast and I find myself doing the usual...the cold pushing me on....I didn't bring the music today...I have some things to contemplate ....I gaze at the moon as we run thro the black and gray...the golden ring around it makes me glad I came...it is beautiful and I know of no other time that I can truly enjoy it.....the run is ok...I have to stop some and the girls I run with are more than patient about letting me do that.....we manage 3.5 or less..I am not sure.....

I am comforted to see the pink of the morning sunrise slowly lifting the black of the night....the dark line silhouetted along the horizon is waiting to see a new day...I have seen it so many times and I am always amazed by the beauty of it.......

Life is the journey...that is for sure....I sometimes get irritated at myself for not enjoying the here and now.....but when I have run I feel freedom and control that nothing else brings to me.... gratitude for the things that only a higher being could create and love for people that are with me and those that are not........
