Nature

Saturday afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky. The air was cool, but the sun sat kindly on her skin. Every leaf of every tall, strong tree was orange or yellow. It was Autumn, her favorite season.

Months had gone by since Brianna last visited the lake. The park seemed foreign, like it had grown larger and even more beautiful in her absence. With every step of her steady jog, she reunited with her old friend. An exuberant smile spread across her face, she was enchanted by the charm of the fall leaves and the fragrant lake waters.

As she ran, her mind wandered. How could she have gone so long without this? Why spend every day in the gym, when this track beckoned from outdoors? She understood what she had been missing, and realized that there were many healing agents in her life- that she just had to reunite herself with them.

It was Autumn, and Brianna spent the afternoon with her old friend, nature.
