Certain places bring out a feeling of private solace like seeing a face from childhood of someone I trusted and loved. In summer the cattle bathe here to escape the heat, like I do to escape life, their dark eyes ambivalent to my existence. I like the way we do not co-exist but rather they occasionally acknowledge me and I appreciate them but neither of us cares to know the others future. This particular day there was a silence. The kind of silence I believe we as humans do not experience enough with the amazing amount of industrious sound human life provides. For me, it is a face I desire. Here there is no expectation of personal progress, ambition, or an emotional revolution. Here I am neither fixed nor broken nor happy nor sad. I am neither heartbroken nor in love. Here I see a face and it is a gift. (Swipe to see the spot)
