a place I can come and write......
This morning I rose early and went to the airport, it was a cool morning and the only light around was manmade. I did the usual check-in routine then boarded my plane just like every other time. It was still dark as I glanced out the windows while the plane rose higher and higher into the sky. I sat and stared into the darkness, a million thoughts rolling through my head, my eyes began to grow heavy. I fought the sleep as much as one can, just thinking and dreaming as I stared off into space. Apparently I lost the battle, I realized as I began to slowly open my eyes moments later, still heavy from lack of sleep, trying to adjust to the dim lights in the plane. As my eyes focused outside the window I began to see something I had never seen before. I have in my life seen hundreds of sunrises and sunsets, but sitting here at 30,000 feet the brilliant bands of orange and red, and yellow illuminating the sky were breathtaking. I sat unable to move staring out the window at the skies, slowly the dark grays began to turn to the most vibrant shades of blue and white. It was as though I was watching life being pumped back into something that had just died. The whole sky now lit with brilliant colors, and in the center of it all, slowly, a blinding light began to emerge. I sat and watched one of the most beautiful surises I have ever seen, and realized how many of these I have taken for granted. There is an old saying that goes something like; " A man who can not read is not a foolish man, a foolish man is one who can read and does not." Enjoy your sunrise tomorrow...........
