A Pensive Misty Morning Moment

"Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose."

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

She moves along the beach, carefully making her way over the rounded rocks, alone with her thoughts.

Her camera, gripped tightly in her hand, is her only companion.

She longs to capture her mood in a photo, but she's not yet sure what it may be.

She feels apart this morning; this is her last trip into the field with this group of friends and classmates.

Sadness hangs like the mist around her.

The river's sounds and smells comfort her; the cries of the birds fill in the empty spaces; she moves with the nature-force.

She'll be fine.

We'll all miss her.

Even on sunny days.
