travel far
feet bare
heart open
reach out
arms wide
reach in
smiling
breathing
simply
walking
north or south?
listen
observe
the wind
moves me
in the right direction
i notice
and
respond
blistering heels
peeling skin
dry lips
water far,
but coming.
internal map,
I've been here before
shady Oaks
Sagebrush
sand.
Sycamores and Cottonwoods ahead
river sounds follow
leaping heart
running feet
gratitude
simple ways
beautiful life
i gather
gifts
to take home
for my
clinic, patients, friends, family, community,
self
