That summer feeling

On the drive home, windows down, cool breeze refreshing my face, I stirred with a strange feeling deep in my being. Ordinarily, in past summers, I would take the feeling for granted, thinking it was a sign of warmer whether. This time I payed closer attention to it.

like a dot of light in vast darkness, a sense of it spoke to me like a new idea, filled with supreme peace and love. I was touched by the feeling, and an undeniable urge to relieve myself.

I pulled into Miller Meadows where new Porta-Potties were set up. The stench of powerful chemicals knocked me from my reverie, standing before what must have been the greatest struggle of some one's life. Do-do was all over the seating area. I wondered if the person's life was changed by the monstrous event I was viewing.


I handled my business and returned to fresh air. Instead of jumping in my truck to continue my journey, I decided to spend a while sitting at one of the picnictables. Feeling relaxed, I began to mentally fade into the nature around me, and for moment, I found that all is well in the world.

Peace, sweet peace.

Then the freaks started showing up. ( there are some weird people out there! )

It was time to get back on the road home.
