write when you are....

what a beautiful morning it truly is!
besides the fact that i had one or two drinks too many last night,
and there was no milk for my lovely cup of joe this morning, which meant i had to roust myself out of bed, and jump in my human transport device, walk into the store, a little bleary eyed, and purchase the oh, so lovely organic valley wholeness...
sitting here, in my spot, and looking out onto the world...
i have to say...
not bad, not bad at all.
i pretty much have it made...
and to people on the outside, looking in...
i totally do.
funny thing is...
along the way in this life...
i've run head on into walls...
i've had near misses...
collisions with souls way bigger than myself...
and had the shit scared out me by a couple people along the way.
but here i am...
smiling...typing...drinking cofee...and thinking of, as ani difranco would say...'my next bold move'
goddess bless you, ani difranco!
you are one smooth dame! :)
anyways, i find sometimes that it's so easy to forget about the beauty that surrounds us...because we're looking at it, day in and day out...we just pass it by...like its ordinary or something.
then one day...you catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your scope of sight...and there you are...looking at the same thing you see everyday...and yet...it looks different...bolder...more colorful...lovely in every way.
suddenly, you're awake again!
what makes that happen?
hmmmmmmmmmmm....who knows?!
but the truth of the matter is...we're just so lucky to remember it.
to go back to a place that we've visited a million times...and see something new in it.
and no, it's not ordinary.
nothing in life ever really is,
if we open our eyes and take it in fully.
no person, no place, and no thing.
beauty finds us in every corner, crack, and crevice...
and sometimes, i guess, by some sort of strange and wacky luck...
we come upon exactly what we need at exactly the right time.
one of those mysteries of life.
when i drive to work, early in the morning sometimes,
i drive along this strip of road that borders the beach...
i always look for the colors that are in the early morning sky...
hues of blues, oranges, yellows, purples, and pinks.
one of the most beautiful things to behold, really.
i usually have my windows rolled down, and have chosen a good song to roll into work on...lately that's john mayer...'say what you need to say' or 'gravity'.
anyways, there are days that when i am looking out my window...i just can't believe what i'm seeing...how each day is different in the sky.
and as i'm driving, sometimes i just have to wave a hand out my window, or scream into the early morning that 'hey, i see you, and i love you!'.
hahahhahahhaha! makes me laugh just thinking about it!
but why not, eh?
i've recently been reading a book that described the horizon as being 'the hem of heaven'....
hmmmmmm....doesn't that sound peaceful and beautiful?
we see it everyday.
and yet...we pass it by...without a thought.
person, place, or thing.
what have we forgotten to see in this life of ours?
