Pause for Thought

Perhaps - it's the emptiness of the landscape?
Or - is it the fullness of life?

Perhaps - it's the fog and dark?
Or - is it the morning light?

Perhaps - it 's the not knowing where this path might lead?
Or - is it the knowing exactly?

I wasn't sure.
Which gave me more pause for thought.
I'm not sure any of it matters.

On just the other side of here.
My friends - the cows - were there.

If you look closely - you can see them.

Doing just what they do...being just who they are.
Comfortable.
Easy.
Breathing.

Grazing in the empty and the full...
in the darkness and the light...
in the not knowing....

It's - somehow - reassuring.
