So I Walked

I woke up at 6:30 AM on this quiet Sunday morning. I'm tired. I stayed up too late. No matter, my body is conditioned to practically rise with the sun. So I walked. I walked for the sheer celebration of movement. I walked to clear the cobwebs in my head. I walked for those I am praying for. I walked for my imagination. I walked for the red cardinal who danced before me ever reminding me of loved ones passed. I walked to discover joy in the smallest of things. I walked for the worms I am compelled to save (the poor things would have been burned up by the sun. I have and will always stop and move them into the blessedly cool green grass). I walked for peace of mind. I walked so that I could listen to good music. I walked for the gift of sobriety. I walked for love and I walked for laughter. Thank you God for allowing me to see so many thing by taking just a few simple steps.
