Healing at the speed of sound

 I release my tears, alone in nature, as the river carries them to the vastness of the sea where they can never find me again. The self-induced fog I hide my emotions behind seems to part where I stand, revealing the beauty I am surrounded by and the death of my heart is comforted by the soothing rapids, reminding me, that this too shall pass. I pick myself up once again, stepping to the water's edge, I throw the round green ball that drives my pup crazy, and, in that single moment, I remember what my purpose is.
