Surviving…

Log: Day #XX - (I have lost track of both calendar days & time)
As I looked over my shoulder, I noticed how incredible the view was from up here. I could see for miles as my eyes retraced the path leading back down to where the hike began. Not knowing how far I had gone or how long it had taken, what I did know was that there was water up here somewhere and how refreshing it would be with the nuts and berries I came across. My sights returned from the amazing scenery to that of seeking this most precious resource before heading back down the hillside.

Log: The next day.
There wasn't even a wave to cause a ripple in the peaceful ocean, as it effortlessly reached out to the sky on the horizon. But without any warning, a pair of dolphins sprang completely out of the water in front of my kayak less than 5 feet away. "One of these days I will dive in after you, grab one of your fins and get a free ride" I murmured to myself, more out of spite for being slightly shocked & caught offguard than really being serious.

The quiet after the recent storms was refreshing, but it left the water too murky to see anything worth spearing. Disappointed, the only fish today would be that from out of a can.

Log: The next day.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the bird swooping down at full flight straight toward the ground. At the last minute the bird redirected 90 degrees, just missing his target, a squirrel that appeared to be interested in sharing the same tree.

When I peeked past the confrontation beyond the trees, I noticed the morning mist rising on the grassy field as the sun began the days warming process. I tried to imagine the types of game my ancestors may have hunted on these same fields many moons ago, when my mind was averted by the golf ball that came bouncing off the green.

I continued my ride to the top of the hill and locked my bike to the fence of the building. As I gathered my clothes from off my rack, a co-worker came up to say hello as we walked into the office. I was asked if I had seen the recent episode of "the show" the other nite. "The show?"… I thought to myself. "No, I guess I missed it", I replied.

I had been watching something else.

Remember, YOU have the POWER!
