Waking in the morning and finally the empty pit in my stomach, the one that has been there as long as I can remember, is finally no more. Each day I travel in a tight barrage of cement and moving cars, painted side by side. But the edge of the freeway walls and angry looks on the drivers passing by fades from me and I can see past them now over to the trees and just beyond them is an orange sun that shines across the mirror of my visor and down into my eyes, shifting colors across them in an unimaginable way and they change to greet the light. It casts a flicker like a candle and so I look up briefly to see them smiling for once. The river below is mystifyingly peaceful and even the bridge is virtually transparent now. I notice the birds overhead in formation, one breaking the path for the rest to make it easier and they all take turns in that special way that only life beyond mankind can be…trying to remind us how. I see the dawn crawling up in the midst of all the metal and chaos, buildings and smog. I see the shining sky and the waters out to the right shimmering with life and a special kind of beauty I had not noticed in quite this way before; a peace from the inside out. And suddenly transformed my thoughts all are at rest and I think no more…I just breathe it all in realizing that the world was always this way…yet somehow I could not see it before. So whatever it is you do… thank you.
