It was a cold and dark night. Tom stood naked and shivering; dangerously exposed in the vast space of an endless grass field. The cruel cold and emptiness around Tom had him feeling like his body was not physically present and that he was nothing but a mind wandering around. The grassland stretched as far as his eyes could see and in a moment he suddenly saw a flash of his future - or what he would like his future to be. In it was a wife carrying an infant boy with bowl-cut black hair and fair skin. The mother and child were looking into each other's eyes and giggling then soon after, they each stole a glance towards Tom's direction. At first, Tom did not realize that he was the father and husband to the child and mother, but when they looked at him with smiles on their faces, he was filled with so much love that it overflowed and spilled and spread all over his body to the tips of each of his fingers and toes until he almost cried. There was no way to explain how Tom felt in that moment standing in the cold while witnessing a small portion of his future. After seeing how much warmth is present in his life in the future, Tom felt as if the cold became so painful and the emptiness became unbearably lonely.

Sincerely,

Hey, I'm Author M! This isn't my first attempt at blogging because I care a lot about what other people have to say about what I have to say, but I hope this one endures. I don't really want to tell you in advance what it is that I'm going to be blogging about because it will limit what I can and will blog about. That's not something I want. This is a way to further explore and share what I am interested in. If you enjoy the content, I deeply appreciate it and please do come back for more. However, if you don't enjoy it, then I'm sure you know what to do.


Sincerely,
 M.
