Coyote
crosses in front of me
30 feet
15 seconds (heart stopped)
I have seen coyotes before on my runs but never have I had one cross in front of me in the dark. I startled him as much as he startled me. He crossed the road and sat in the field watching me. . .I serve a WILD God. I kept thinking about what a "cool" thing to happen to me this morning. I kept thinking about the chance encounter and what it must have looked like from the heavens . . . .me, a 42 year old male trying to beat the aging process heading south on a dark, misty morning . . .and the coyote, (age unknown!) . . .heading West across the same road on the same dark, misty morning. Both of us were running when our paths crossed . . . .running is WILD. My God is WILD. And that is why I do this . . . .
This is it . . .
