Morning's mood

I'm pretty sure today is a beautiful day.

It's still morning, so it's not quite

deep enough into the day to tell,

but I think it will be.

And I don't mean beautiful as in sunny

and warm and refreshing

with a slight breeze.

I'm not talking about the weather.

I think today is going to be beautiful

for all its mundane moments.

Today's little things -- books to read,

places to go, food to eat --

have started to gather and

it's gonna be good.

I can tell.

And you know what,

to heck with all of that,

I want to create meaning and

substance and depth from nothing.

I want to do it everyday.

I want to live my life looking

for redemption in a sprinkler

and transcendence in the steam rising

from a pot of boiling water.

I want to look for God in the rain

that is just about to drop from

the heavy clouds at this very moment.

So maybe I am talking about the weather.
