Today, like so many others, was that spot underneath the trees on an otherwise scorching venture.
Ah, yes. Today, I caught my breath, wiped away the sweat, and drank my water.
This spot, just like the last, cast shadows of leaves on the ground, where shining specs of light again were.
This space feels safe and restful. I am content. I am unbothered.
While I’m aware of the possibility of having to trek back out into the fiery abyss of the blistering sun tomorrow, I just can’t say that any plans of action have been made…
For today, I relax because I’ve found shade.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I struggle to do this, to enjoy the present. I always worry about what's gonna happen next 😅 Your poem was so beautiful and I loved it!
