Does anyone look at sunshine streaming through clouds in this way and not think of God? This morning, it looked like mercy. I felt mercy for the fact that I was a near shut-in last week, paralyzed and overwhelmed with the sadness behind me and the transition in front of me. I felt mercy for being awake way too early, and way too far afield from the person I want to be. I felt mercy for being unemployed and yet not being the yoga-practicing, book-reading, gourmet cook I imagined I would be in this block of free time. I felt mercy for being silent and boring. I felt mercy for never giving my friends as much as they give me. I felt mercy for being alive.
And then it was gone.
Music: "Power Fantastic"
are you sure that's not gas?
ReplyDeleteoh PB, I knew I could count on you.
ReplyDeleteNot to copy-catter PB, or pile on, but my first thought was "Pretty pic of San Fran getting nuked!"
ReplyDeleteOne person's early-morning epiphanl revelation is another person's snark! "It's the Cir-cle of li-i-ife!..."
I got your mercy right here...
