She opened her eyes for the first time.
She felt the damp earth beneath her and rolled over onto her back to see the canopy of trees above her.
In an instant she understood fully the miracle of this and the miracle of her.
It had been no accident that she had been placed where she was upon her awakening.
She was a part of this and whole in it.
The peace covered her like a warm blanket,
knit of light and shadow creating a mystical pattern of presence and perfection.
She rose to her feet,
uncertain of where she should go or what she was meant to do when she arrived but,
supported by the all that surrounded her she made her way to a path cut through the dense wood.
Her joy and wonder danced within her
just as lights breaking through the canopy above danced around her with each gentle gust of wind.
