Very interesting 5am experience. The sky was silent. Jazzie and I walking through the forest. Normally we hear distant cars, see far off lights acting like beacons in homes and are usually accompanied by the hoots of the owl. Not this 5am walk. The sky was silent. An instant flashback of what it sounded like during the Covid 19 lockdown. I stopped several times as if to be checking my hearing. Had I gone deaf? The half lit moon offered direction through the forest but the silence was putting me in a place of wonder. What took place while we were sleeping? I usually don’t hook up with the news until the forest walk is over. It felt odd in a day and age where so many have returned to marching in corporate order. Then one big gust of wind. It quickly disappeared. We were standing in its way. I could feel it racing around me. The sky was silent. Then whoosh… The universe taking a big breath then setting it free.
