Impermanence

Breathing, seeing, smiling

I take in the early morning light and the texture of this beautiful mountainside

I am grateful for my eyesight and the shapes of the world that evoke this enchantment I'm feeling

It seems nearly inevitable that wildfires will burn through this forest in the coming years

It makes sense, it seems we humans have initiated this change:

It has been a warm winter without much snow.

I cherish what is here while it is here

Breathing, seeing, smiling

I am grateful
