from here you can see the ocean a distant dulled blue mesa standing still, yet running an offshore marine layer clouds the horizon dark gray cumulus with fluffy white tops mimic snow capped mountains clean bright sunshine illuminates the earth a cheerful contrast to yesterday's rain and gloom the city is alive with light as morning fills the room awakening my mind with expanding consiousness a feeling that I AM gratitude and thankfulness abound rising emotions remind me thoughts become spoken words "I love life" "I love myself" "God, I love myself"
