Prompt; It's hard to describe something as vague as a emotion. You feel it, but it's hard to associate it with a certain word or experience you lived before. It differences from day to day and it's never provoked by the same thing. It's spontaneous, but never new, something that exists somewhere deep in your soul waiting to be revealed since the beginning of times.
Nowadays we are too stressed, too busy, too uninterested to notice the things that are surrounding us. It's sad that most of us never get to know themselves in the run for money and fame. We have lost our ability to empathize with each others. It's a point where our evolution can't help us too much.
It was a beautiful summer day, for the ones who had time to contemplate it. I was preparing to go to the mountain, to get some rest and fresh air. I needed a place to put my thoughts in order.
I have packed some items that could prove being useful in my trip and I hit the road.
I reached the forest in a half of an hour, then abandoned my car there. Who needs a car for relaxing?
I decided to climb myself through the mighty old trees, in which green dense leafy crowns, the birds were singing, delighting my senses. A blow of wind tickled me. There, in the middle of nowhere, without the stress of the tomorrow I felt alive and free. And nothing else matters. I continued ascending to the top of the mountain, where the view is breathtaking, and the air is pure. It was tough to get there and I was physically exhausted, but psychologically, I was better than I was ever before. I just lied there on the wet grass with my eyes on the sky, counting the fluffy clouds floating on there. It was so peaceful that I felt my heart itself smiling.
My soul was overwhelmed in a warmth I never felt before, it was pure happiness maybe, or even love for the gorgeous natural landscape surrounding me. I was never sure about the limit of a feeling and the beginning of another. Maybe all the emotions are mixed. Maybe in happiness always exists sadness, or in hate always exists love. Who knows?
While meditating at the complexity of our feelings, I heard something approaching me. By the sound, I assumed it was a squirrel, so I didn't bothered to even open my eyes. Then, I felt something big and fluffy on my chest. "Well, that's definitely not a squirrel, I thought. Maybe is just a cat". Then I opened suddenly my eyes "Cats don't live on mountains!" On my chest it was staying a beautiful red creature, I immediately identified as a female Crowned Yiang. Even if I wasn't lucky enough to encounter one before, I found this species truly amazing. As the little animal wouldn't left my chest until I opened my eyes, I assumed something attracted him. When I touched my chest, I felt it strangely warm. So that's what the little Yiang was searching. Surprised, I took the animal, she was cold, and stroked it. She emitted a sound like a purr and started warming up, so my theory confirmed: this little creature was attracted by the warmth of the feelings. When I decided it was time to leave, I packed my stuff and started descending to my car. The Yiang closely followed me. I approached her, and the jumped into my arms, putting her forehead on my chest. Her thoughts sounded into my head, like our minds were only one. "Please take me home with you. All my life I've been cold and alone. I just need someone to spend time with".
I discovered that she was right. I could have used a little company, so I took her home with me. I named her Keezheekoni, "burning fire" as she took her temperature by her feeling and the emotions of the ones around her.
