The light filtered through the trees creating broken areas of light and shadow. The diffusion of light through the leaves lent a transcendent quality to the area closest to me. I looked further into the distance and the light became gradually murkier. It seemed cool, damp actually. This progression of light from diffuse to soft murkiness made me feel safe as if I was wrapped in a blanket or held in a lovers arms, content, secure, and timeless. A tinge of sadness reached my soul when I remembered this moment would come to an end all too soon. In a few minutes, an hour at most, the light will change and the moment will pass into a bitter–sweet memory with all the other timeless moments.
