Au Gratitude Twelve


Day 12
On the drive from Utah to Chicago my heart was 
razed to the ground like a derelict old building. 

I had left behind everything that was safe and 
affable for a world without mountains.

It would be impossible to live buoyantly.
Nothing would be lovely anymore.

It wasn't

And then one day, it was.

I am grateful the change took place.
Grateful that I can see beauty in more angles than just mountains.
Grateful my heart came back.
And came back bigger.

Grateful for Hyde Park, Chicago.
