It is a bright summer’s day
I walk vigorously with excitement
an atmosphere of joy
following the Golden River
I am surrounded by expansion
a clear highway to wild land
a kaleidoscope of changing landscapes
All at once, creative forces collect in me
the real, surreal and unreal
I open up in surrender
