When I fly across the lagoon my front paws curl towards my heart. My thoughts settle in a place deep inside. The only thing that exists, is this moment.

Time slows down, suspended in mid-air. It feels easy to adjust, find your balance. All you have to do, is believe.

When you reach the other side, stretch out and prepare for landing. The sand will be soft, time becomes real again.

You put words to the way I felt running on trails. The dog exemplifies it perfectly. “…my front paws curl towards my heart. My thoughts settle in a place deep inside. The only thing that exists, is this moment.” That is freedom. ❤

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Martha, I can imagine how freeing it would feel to run the trails. I used to get a similar feeling riding horses on the gallops in my younger years 🙂💖🐎 xxx

Brilliant captures these are but what I most like are the thoughts. Sometimes, I do dream about just pausing up in the middle, during a jump from one place to another. Even in my sleep, it feels so surreal 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Hammad – it feels as if time slows down during these big leaps and it can seem very other-worldly! 🙂
