perspective


I wake up to this, thank the good Lord. In all the idle minutes of my life that I chose to just stare at this river flow lazily, I have never seen a floating trash bag or even a discarded soda can. It gets muddy and dotted with clumps of dry leaves after a heavy rain but it returns to its dark moss-green glory after a day. 

Along this river is a bicycle/ joggers path. I've seen men and women running along this path like it was the easiest thing in the world- to run like marathoners. On weekends, parents with their kids bike along. Ideal.

I wake up to this view, along with the traffic noise that starts at 6am. No horns, just cars flooring it, trying to beat the rush hour traffic. Forgot to mention that there's a highway also running along this river. Oh well. Must take the good with the bad (and a cup of coffee). :)
