A new chapter

[satyresque]

What can I say but 'this is all so amazing.' As I've previously posted, I have been house sitting for my cousin. I'm out in the country, on a big plot of land. Trees surround the property as far as the eye can see. Grassy fields, blow in the slightest breeze.

The pond is beautiful, and once I've had the pleasure of watching the sky touch the earth, or so it appeared. The fog rolling in over both the land, and water was nothing short of awesome. When I lay my head down to rest, the sounds of nature guide me to sleep. It's completely surreal.  I've had nights under the full moon, and days in the sun.

No matter what time it is for the most part, I can just step outside and smile as I'm bathed in natural light.  Today I was having a fire out in the back yard. That is if I can even call it a yard. It's massive. I enjoyed the fire for about fiveteen min. before the winds started to blow. They blew gently at first, growing stronger with each moment.

I could see and hear the trees in the distance move as if to make way for royalty. For a moment, I'll admit I was a bit frightened as I wondered if a great big tornado was going to swoop in out of nowhere and whisk me away before I could make it indoors, but I didn't move until I heard the loud crack of mother nature's thunder alerting me that I should seek shelter. Just before I made it inside a few droplets of rain kissed my skin. It wasn't until I stepped inside that the winds increased to what had to of been fourfold what it had been just seconds before. The rain was - well it was. 

There aren't really words for me to describe, other than perhaps it was as if the earth was turned upside down and all the water resources were carried in a great wind, like the breathe of a water giant. It really is in some ways as if I am seeing the world for the first time.  Each morning when I open my eyes  it's as if new ones have replaced those  I had just the night before. I can't help but feel that this is the respite that I have been waiting for.

This is the reminder that things are changed. This is the omen that things are not just different, but that they can be from now on if I choose wisely and seek the peace that I have earned, that I deserve. It will take work, and it may not be easy - but I will have what is mine. In some ways I feel that I already do. At this weeks end I return to the city. I'll be in a land of concrete, physically confined, and loud base will echo around me.  My soul though, that will be free, just like it is now. 

This time has been and still is so invigorating. I feel recharged in so many ways. While my living situation is not ideal, it is far better than what it had been in Cleveland. It's a stepping stone towards where I am headed.  Just now, as I write this, the clouds are parting again, the storm - for now has passed and once again the sun is shining. While the storm was beautiful, this too I see as symbollic. I can't wait to see what happens next!

That would be a fun job. Especially if all the houses were as awesome as my cousins was!
