WHERE AM I
Monday - March 20, 2017
I am sitting outside my hotel room on a small private patio around noon time in Tucson, Arizona. Am on a road trip with my daughter Julie. We are on a semi cliff and hear cars driving approximately 1/2 mile away. Looking straight ahead are wild desert plants or as I like to call them small bushes or trees which are about 6 feet high. Raising my head I see the most gorgeous fantastic mountains that I can't even guess how tall they are but I think they are called "THE CATALINA RANGE" with all shades of green and the dots I see must surely be trees. But what's spurring my imagination is that I think the clouds are peeking over the mountain and then receding out of sight. For about 2 hours I have been in and out my room, getting a nosh or water, but keep going back outside to view the 'CLOUD' - WOW - first it disappears and reappears - What is this cloud doing?
Maybe it is looking at me - what a stupid statement I just made, but it makes me happy. On one of my returns to the patio I find 5, yes five, distinct clouds peeking over the mountain. Whoops, they are all gone again. This scenario goes on for over 2 hours. I have always loved watching clouds since I was a child and even to this day my eyes have noticed the appearance of different outlines of many animals; ie: ducks, dogs, pigs, fish and sometimes when a cloud is really large and puffy and moves slowly I have the pleasure of seeing giant whales or elephants. Sometimes I have been able to share my sightings and enjoyment at the same time with others and although it is rare, it makes me happy.
To finish off this solitude I shall write one more short paragraph and hope it makes your day the very best.
I LOVE "Joyce's" poem about "Trees" and maybe some day I will be able to write one on my feelings about "Clouds" and just maybe "GOD" has given me something special regarding their beauty and if so 'THANK YOU.
