Mornings are sacred time for me. I awake early – before children – put air in my tires, fill water bottles, pull on my biking shorts head out to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a ride. I’m grateful for this time for many reasons. It’s my opportunity to greet the day as I ride into the sunrise, to meditate as I turn pedals round and round, to breath deeply and to become inspired. I arrive home feeling strong and primed for my day. This past week, I have been greeted by gray fox on my return home. We’ve been studying one another closely and she’s been calling to me.
Dawn fox
Holed in shadows of
Chard and basil
Watching
Her strong eyes
Meet mine
Her mystique
Woos me
Wary toes
Part tall grass
As we greet
Open field
She turns
Tail erect
Steering me
Her way
Flowing
Feminine
Mystery
Calls me
