To free the soul

"The free soul is rare
but you know it when you see it - 
basically because you feel good, 
very good, when you are near or with them". 
                                 ~ Charles Bukowski

A good friend once said, "life can be good without being perfect".  When things become difficult, I remind myself of her wisdom. 

Once in a great while, the stars align and you find your soul is free - the world is perfect.  You look into the eyes of the person you are with and it takes your breath away.  The free soul is not to be captured and held on to forever.  It is to be cherished and recognized for what it is - it belongs to us only briefly.   

During my runs, I am surrounded with solitude and silence; allowing me to reconnect to the perfect times in my life.  I take my thoughts back and relive the moments when my soul was free.  And I feel good, very good...
