548. just wait… the sun will be up soon

looking for a sign
that the sun will rise again
ah… lo and behold  🦊❤️

When I am in the dark woods in the middle of the night crewing my son and daughter as they grind their ways  through a 100 mile or more race I will always tell them that, “The sun will be rising soon and you’ll feel better then.” I say that to them because by that time we are all in a debilitated state physically and mentally and sleep deprived. I say it for their benefit as well as mine. Then as they disappear back into the darkness, I keep my eyes on the trees waiting for the leaves to begin to turn from black to ever lightening shades of green. EVERYTHING is a lesson in living. 🦊❤️
