#28 The hyena encounter

He kindly does let me sleep an extra hour, while he leaves for a big loop in the woods. Difficult to wake up, but with a cup of coffee comes the invite to do the loop. Off we go. The air outside feels heavy and already hot. We jog almost the whole loop, only a short break as both vicious dogs come to greet us. I try to speak calmly and friendly to them, we let them sniff and they decide to leave us in peace. Relieved we had only one such encounter this month!

She’s snuggling up like a foetus as I bring her coffee. I’m cooling down after my own loop, for once before our time together. I decided to get up earlier today, my energy is coming back. I enjoyed nature for myself before we start our day together. It feels so good, each morning to come to my little gem to gently wake her up. This living creature is the center of my life and I’m amazed we could tackle this project together this month. As we jog our usual loop, I start myself to consider the passing of the days, how that field got its blue tone, this other field hosts our friend the bull and this stretch of the loop has several times led us to cross this lady with her 2 lovely dogs. We are close to the end, it’s a bliss to look back to all these patterns that filled our days.
