First View.....

6:45 and Fenway and I walk out the door....down the sidewalk next to the condo building. It feels like spring! We turn east at the end of the building to walk to the lakefront. And my eyes are immediately drawn upward.


Our sky is absolutely beautiful. Shifting shapes move across a beautiful blue palette. It is just so pretty. Very few people are out and about....a young mother pushing a stroller and a few other first-walk-of-the-day dog owners. I listen to lots of different bird calls as they start the day. And it just gets better and better, moment by moment as we walk along the water. The sun itself is hiding behind the clouds but beauty streams down.


We continue our walk and I am thinking about just how "normal" and "everyday" this seems.....a walk, a beautiful morning, a few others enjoying the early time outside. And it makes me suddenly sad and almost tearful. There is nothing normal in our world anymore....not today and not for the foreseeable future. And probably whatever becomes normal will not be like anything we've ever had before. I am so sick of the term "new normal"....but that's what it's going to be.

One last look and it seems that the light coming through holes in the sky. 



Holes in heaven?
