Oh glorious day. Glorious sunshine. It warms me right down to my very cold little soul. I really didn't realize how affected I am by the weather until now. I enjoy snow well enough. I don't mind having to wear layers and 3 pairs of socks. However... I HATE BEING COLD. Most desperately do I deplore the act of not being warm. It's dreadful and sometimes physically painful. But the warmth... the soft rays of the sun filtering through the trees, or the strong beams of light beating brilliantly on the water or even pavement. How bold and daring. How playful and inquisitive is light. It peeps into the darkest space and illuminates even the deepest crevice. Sunlight. An analogy for all that is good and right in the world. It figuratively feeds the soul and literately feeds and nourishes our skin, brain cells, and entire being. The more New England winters I endure, and the more New England summers I experience, the more I believe that I am becoming addicted to sunshine. Maybe I'll start a cult. (I'm kidding... no cult followers please... I DIDN'T MEAN IT! )
Laying in the sunshine. Feeling the warmth on my face and the grass in my fingers. What can be more wonderful? A slight breeze, birds flying overhead. I can hear someone walking by but I don't bother to acknowledge their presence. I am soaking up all the sunshine I can. Humanity can wait.
What is it about the sun that brightens any mood? A sour face can be turned around by a sunny day and blue sky. What is it about a pleasantly warm day that makes me want to run? Why does the soft warm breeze make me want to sing? Why does a green tree, whether in bloom or not, seem to be God smiling at me?
Oh goodness I love the sun. I left the sunshine state for Boston. I said good bye to almost constant sunny 80+ degrees, and moved to 40 (or below) and rainy? What I'll do for a good education with professors I love... For Grad school... I'm going to Hawaii.
