It's a Beautiful Day

Today was one of those wonderful days, where the sun breaks through and allows a brief respite from the bitter cold of winter. It felt good to walk around outside and feel the sun on my face.

It is on days like today, that you can appreciatejust how wonderful a sunny day can be. But at the same time, it is sad to watch the snow melt, leaving mud and muck behind.

Its kind of a wonderful process thoguh, if you think about it. A cleansing of a sort. Under the snow, everything looks peaceful and clean and good. But in reality, it is just the same world, metallic and grimey and concrete, hiding beneath a natural illusion. Our senses embrace the illusion and look out on something pure that we can feel good about.

And then the illusion is broken. Reality oozes to the surface, but cleansed in a way. We are left with reality, but the break allows us to feel a little better about things and ourselves.
