Seeking the Unexpected















Along my running route today, I stay aware and open for the unexpected.  The trees drop shadows onto the asphalt to tease its nature.

Nuances arrive in sounds like castanets that crows send from high in the palm trees. 

Scents of moist earth give way to the sun's pleasure as a caterpillar awaits its transition.  Even motors of cars and mowers turn into energy beyond technology.  Lizards feast on a swarm of insects, then chase into the brush that hides them.

Astonishment arouses the ordinary into patterns of discovery.  Alerted to the day, a dragon smiles from the pavement.



Creative Write:  Take a journey into the unexpected and see where the writing takes you.
