A searching heart

Summary: Virginia let her gaze sweep up to enjoy the brightness of the late Autumn day. Everything seemed to be right with the world. A few playful clouds floated aimlessly, not obscuring the sun but roaming the heavens on a unhurried mission of discovery. Fall flowers nodded colorful heads in the stirring air. Birds in nearby trees twittered and called. Nest building was past. Even their parenting duties that had kept them busy providing food for searching, noisy bills was over for another year. Young fledglings had been taught to fly and to forage on their own. Soon they would be forced to test those skills on a first migration. It was the kind of day that called for adventure. Virginia felt an unnamed longing to be involved to go somewhere., discover something, to be a part of the world about her in a new way. Perhaps Grandma Marty would have labeled her feelings"the restlessness of youth." Whatever it was, Virginia yearned for something different, more stimulating, than her day-to-day world.
