A Warm Summer Day

I was strolling near the water in the park on a warm, breezy summer day. My mind wandered as I looked at the beautiful setting that surrounded me. Most folks were stuck at work, so there weren’t very many people out. I wanted to enjoy my free day.

In the distance she immediately caught my eye. Her colorful sundress sparkled in the bright sunlight. Her boots clashed a little with more color. As she drew closer, something else took ahold of me. I didn’t know exactly what.

I felt a glow, an energy, that was powerful. Her smile showed both intensity and confidence, reaching out to me. Was she connecting with me, or was it all my imagination? Why would she, an attractive woman, want to interact with me?

I decided to reach out and said: “Good morning! It’s a nice day isn’t it?”

She responded: “Every day is beautiful, but today is special.”

I ,naturally a little nervously, said: “Why?”

This mysterious woman responded confidently:

“I know that we’ve met in a prior life. You were meant to meet me again today. I came with the wind and the sun, and I’m very happy that we are finally connecting.”

I was both totally baffled and intrigued.

I reached out to shake her hand and she took a hold of it. A shiver went through my spine. I felt something totally new; something totally different. I couldn’t begin to take in my intense feelings. There was warmth and coolness, but mostly an electricity that quickly overwhelmed me.

I started to stumble. She quickly pulled me up. My breath grew short in my nervousness. The sensations coming only (I thought) from her hand said:

“Slow down, relax, take it easy”. I took a deep breath, blinked and said to myself:

“Wow, what is happening?”

She pulled me along, not saying a word. I was confused and intrigued. We moved towards the water, away from where others were. We were walking slowly surrounded by a few trees, some beautiful bushes and many colorful flowers.
