Rising

by Catherine Smith | Sep 10, 2016

The sun sets behind a range of dark mountains, casting rays of light through scattered clouds in a dramatic, blue sky above a grassy landscape.

Today doesn’t look like this for me. There is no great glory caught between the cupped hands of cloud and mountain. Still, even resistant, this body recognizes those wisps rising from something hidden; those breaths warmly exhaled in this day’s blue moment, sighing a soft, unavoidable grace in the sky of my heart.
