Deep Winter

Sensation of the Mystical
The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical.
Albert Einstein

Bitter cold morning.
Awake to worries and fears.
Throw on my walking clothes and head for the highest point in my creek village.
Met by the sunrise.
My body rejoices.

I know it can't always be this simple - this instant lifting of suffering.
I know that fears abound - near and far - yet still.
My heart knows joy.
In that moment.
