A Day Like Today 4/24/17

I woke up to a perfect day.

The kind of day that makes

me feel sorry for myself and

question every choice I ever

made that resulted in being

inside instead of outside

on a day like today.

As I drove to work down Willow St

I consoled myself with the depth of

light and shadow under the oak arbor,

the hot funky jazz playing on OZ,

and thoughts of the miraculous

nature of pure being.

Then, I realized that no matter

how many days such as this

I have enjoyed in my life,

it will never feel like enough

on a day like today.
