Cooper and I ramble across the prairie just after sunrise. Nose to the wind, he answers the call of the wild with purposeful forays across the rough terrain. Yellow floral bouquets of Broom Snakeweed dominate the tapestry of shortgrass prairie straw, yucca, and cacti. The timeless allure of vast prairie expanses under a deep blue firmament invites my heart to song and soul to soar. For a brief moment the passage of time is irrelevant. I understand eternity.
The natural world most certainly nurtures the primal threads that bind us to one another and illuminate our essence.
