With the Wild Wolves Around You in the Morning

Last Sunday I saw a coyote - it was beautiful and at first reminded me of the fox I would see at my parents house. The strangest part was that I saw it, and my running buddy can attest to this, in a very urban area by the hike and bike trail which we were running to for our training. I looked around at the trash littering the creek he had just slithered into and thought about our footprint as humans on this earth and what we can do. It was a nice run starting with an unexpected sighting, but one that lead to great thoughts.

I looked at the moon last night as I ran and thought about that coyote again trying to make it in this world the best way he could. The moon was stunning.
