There's always a wind
06.01.04 (5:33 am)   [edit]
This weekend rocked my socks off (actually, it was almost as boring as hell, as if I've been there before). Well...I did have a friend come visit, so that was a highlight. Otherwise, my days were pretty wacky, because I didn't have to work, and I didn't want to mess up my sleep schedule, I just stayed up all night. It was pretty boring doing. But anyway...on to what I wanted to talk about...

Being up all night makes you appreciate the coming of the day. To watch it happen is rather strange. It is like a great laboring of the earth to slowly turn and bring the warmth of the sun to the waking birds. I liked going running around 5, when the air is still crisp, and the sun just along the tree line. One morning, there was a rather stiff breeze, and it seemed that, like Life, every direction I turned, it was against me. I had walked down to the box to get the paper (about 1/4 mile away), and brought it back to the driveway, and when I got 1/2 mile away, it began to rain. It was rather symbolic of my life. But I love even those mornings. Even in all that suckiness, there is a bit of hope. When I came back to the driveway, the rain and breeze stopped (but it was too late for the newspaper), and the sun came out. So I sat down to ponder Life, and my other nemeses, as the steam of my sweat rose off my body into the fresh morning air.
