Hello Light Readers! I went out running last night and it was just a little bit cool for the first time since April maybe? I run the same route most nights, one that takes me by a densely wooded area. A few weeks back, I saw a fox run no more than ten feet in front of me. It was absolutely thrilling and the moment was over before I’d really registered what I’d seen. The next night, I saw the fox in the same place again! Determined to document this, I started a video on my phone when I neared the spot the next night, but no fox, and no fox for the night after that and the one after that. My phone now has a dozen or so of these ninety-second videos of the darkened sidewalk, crickets chirping along with the low buzz of cicadas, a wild tangle of forest growing over the sidewalk and the phone camera focusing in and out as it struggles to lock on something.
Thank you for providing a daily dose of inspiration! ...I know you're going to see that sly old fox!.
