The day began with cloudy delights.

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day and I’m feeling good.

~“Feeling Good,” songwriters Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse (Nina Simone singer edition : )

Even though the thoughts of boomer thunderstorms were with me upon awakening. Heavy tasks to be completed, piles of words hardcovered by time.

But instead, I took my light, covered by an eggshell colored translucent paper and turned it on.

Created blue rivers of mountains that only shine their beauty on the days with clouds. I followed the wrinkle lines upon the paper with a cool color of love.

And now as the day goes on, my sun beckons me to enjoy the burst of light before it is captured by the tree beings once again.

Will the light stick around long enough for me to feel its warmth?

Long enough for me to appreciate the goodness that comes even when the day is shrouded by the clouds of someone’s anger of yesterday?

But I’m still thinking, what do we do when a family member is suffering yet sees it not as suffering?

Yesterday is but a bunch of thoughts no longer existing, unless I have chosen to birth them into this…
