Dancing in the Light
I went with a group of
students up to check out the aspen trees early this morning. Each turn up the
road left us feeling more shocked. The car ride was a constant orchestra of
gasps and “ooh” and “ahs” or just silence.
So shocked by the beauty, we
pulled off he road to frolic amongst the aspens. We ran through the quaking
forests, crossed rivers and sat under the golden trees to take it all in for a
while. I must say, I wish I started everyday sitting under an aspen tree.
As an artist, I haven’t
felt so inspired by a place in a very long time. There was an excitement that
ran through my limbs as we walked down trails or followed rivers. I loved
watching the light dance amongst the leaves as the wind blew. Seeing how the
forest already was bare in some areas reminded me of how precious time is, and
how quickly you can miss a beautiful moment in time if you aren’t present with
it. It was one of those first time experiences that make you so grateful to be
alive.
