I woke slowly, sleeping to the exact moment of my alarm. The sun was already peeping into the van where it could. I had rested well, once I finally fell asleep. Sleep has been a distant friend lately.
I lingered over every movement, every action I took as the morning grew old.
I watched as the sun slowly brightened the forest around me. Soft rays of light filling in the dark spaces between branches creating spotlights on the forest floor, revealing various hues of greens and browns.
I watched in silence peering out from the van door, a silent observer to this light show.
I feel asleep again, listening to the early calls of unknown birds. When I opened my eyes once more, the forest was again changed. New ferns and moss were grinning in the warmth of the sun.
Lazily I piddled around doing my chores, watching pine needles fall great distances down, down, down, when the breeze pushed them to do so.
I listened to the winds, the birds, the flying insects, everything having its own destination.
I would stay today, I decided. In four months I’ve left for one reason or another, but today, I would stay. I would watch this small but wild place, observe it. Witness its changes.
The trees swayed and the dripping mosses waved to me. The warmth of the afternoon heating the forest floor and releasing deep earthy aromas.
The remnants of day-old spider webs glittered in the golden daylight.
Leaves fluttered, moved by unknown forces.
My journey would end soon, but these things would remain long after I’ve gone away.
There is a comfort in the things that remain.
