Days Like This...

I am longing for days that look like this.

Days that are green.

With late afternoon sunlight

that cascades a warm golden glow over everything it touches.

Those days where you can smell the scent wet earth, decomposing leaves and of pine pitch as it warms throughout the day.

Days where I can stand alone, but never be alone.

Yes, days like this...

We have been back from California going on 2 weeks now.

I am dreaming of the West Coast, Redwood forests and the moody Pacific nightly.

I think I may be in love...

With that said, I still haven't finished sorting through and editing the 1300+ photos I took while there and have since felt a bit overwhelmed about what to even share.

I also must admit that I am feeling a bit underwhelmed about being back.

I live in am absolutely gorgeous area, but am feeling a bit of wanderlust and like I didn't get enough of the magic while I was on the other coast, leaving something to be desired now that I am back.

Slowly, though, I am finding those moments.

The shimmers of light caught out of my peripheral.

The golden and fiery fields.

The moments that grab at my heart strings.

I like those moments.

I feel like my heart expands.

I can feel the energy swirling and swelling, like now I use it to breathe in place of my lungs.

Do you know that feeling?
