sunrise, sunset

Back in the East once again for the holidays, I look to the skies and am uplifted.

Even jet lag has its advantages if it wakes me as the sun peeps over the horizon.

Painting the sky in glorious hues and unsurpassed palettes.

All day long - morning, afternoon, and evening.

I scan the space above me.

I am drawn upwards and outward.

Spreading myself into the vast expanse.

Breathing it in - ahhh!

Exhaling it out - siiighhh!

Welcoming me home.
