My small granny and other stories

When wide sky opens

When wide sky opens
what is there to do?
Feel small and scared
Run... and hide
Or embrace the invitation
heart full
thank full
awe filled.

Your beautiful words remind me of the song "Wide Open Spaces" by the Dixie Chicks. We all need to embrace those wide open skies,
"to find a dream and a life of our own,
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone."
Love that song - thanks for another thought-provoking post.
All the best!
