Gulf breezes
Slept like a dog last night, dreaming of being underwater most of the night. Could be the rain we have been having. Could be that the air is laden with water. A breeze was blowing all morning and you could smell the water in the air. Big puffy clouds ranging from white to black move swiftly overhead and a stark blue sky is behind each one.
Our happiness over a baby girl is tinged with the darkness that a mother lost her child to a senseless murder all at the same moment – the white clouds move in tandem with the black clouds and behind is a blue sky.
Perhaps we were never intended to know unfettered joy because we might walk off the planet.
