It was very late at night or early morning, even before dawn broke… She was strolling along a long wounded path. The way ahead was shrouded in mist. Far in the distance she could hear the waves falling and breaking over the old and tired rocks. She felt the dew on her lips and the cold wind on her bare arms, she wondered if she should stop. She strayed away from the path, was it something she felt….

The warmth of the woods invited her. As she ran her hand on the barks of the old and wizened trees, she felt a sense of comfort. The unfamiliarity of the place did not frighten her away. She walked ahead made her way deep into the dark woods, until she came by a lake. The sun was coming up by now and the woods beginning to come alive. As she looked ahead into the water, something hit her eye. It seemed like a stone, unlike anything she had seen before.

She picked it up. The stone felt smooth in her long fingers. The touch filled her with a sense of wonder. She decided on a quick impulse not to throw it away in to the cold clear water. She held on to the stone and resumed her journey in the woods.

As she came out of the woods, she felt like she was leaving behind something very dear to her. She closed her fist even tighter and she felt the stone. It was radiating warmth and energy, she opened her hands and looked at the stone, and it was mossy green and heavy in her hand. It looked like it held the deepest mysteries of the earth in its self. She accepted the precious gift given to her and moved on as she yet again felt a pull far beyond the horizon…

IT has been long since I have written anything. Life has been chugging along just fine these few days. Have been busy with work and life otherwise - both at the same time. Things have changed and for the better I might add. I often catch myself smiling and pleasantly distracted ( that has made work a little more difficult, but then who's complaining)...
