VIEW OF HEAVEN

I WOKE UP EARLY TODAY AND LOOKED OUTSIDE, I AM A STRANGE DUCK, I LOVE RAIN AND CLOUDS. SOMEHOW THEY BLANKET ME IN COMFORT AND EASE THE SHARPNESS OF LIFE.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY BAD DAY, A MIGRAINE AND FIBRO FOG KIND OF PUSHING ME INTO BECOMING A HERMIT. I FINALLY GAVE INTO TAKING A NAP AND MIGRAINE MEDICINE.

WHEN MY NAP ENDED I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND WATCHED AS THE CLOUDS SETTLED ON THE TOP FLOORS OF THREE EMBARCADERO CENTER. THEY SETTLED ACROSS THE WATER OF THE BAY AND COVERED THE BAY BRIDGE.

I KNOW I MAY BE SICK, BUT SOMETIMES THE BEAUTY AROUND ME SETS MY SOUL SOARING. TODAY THE RAIN AND THE SOFT APPEARANCE OF THE CLOUDS TOUCHED ME. MAYBE THIS IS MY VIEW OF WHAT HEAVEN IS AND I LIKE IT.
