Gravel travel soothes me…
The sound of rocks nipping at the underside of the vehicle, washboard ruts, and whoa, back up, stop moments worthy of being captured in the mind or on film.
Finding that place to pull over and sit watching and listening. Uninterrupted, with the exception of the local rancher or farmer stopping to see if you need help.
An easy smile, thoughts and memories shed tears.
Morning darkness welcomes the sunrise and the wakening earth sounds until the sun and clouds drift towards sunset, moonrise, and star-studded sky.
The gravel roads soothe me, grounds me.

When pictures and words resonate with a writing prompt, there comes a time that paring down a story or adding to it to make 99 words might need to happen. What happens to the raw draft, the extra words? It become a tale of its own, saved for another day. Always with the possibility to morph into something more.
