• THINGS THAT REFRESH MY SOUL
  

  Dawn
  

  I just went out and snapped this photo from my back porch at 6:15 am in Portland, Oregon. It’s officially spring now and it’s my favorite kind of dawn, Sunday morning dawn. Dawn is kind of like New Year’s Day. You get to start fresh. There are no grating motor noises yet, most people are enjoying sleeping in if it’s the weekend, and you can actually hear the birds making those waking up sounds – little fluttering cheeping rubbing their eyes with their feathers sounds. You can imagine that today in your life you will be a good person, you won’t hurt anybody (at least not intentionally), you might get to hug someone, and maybe there will be good news in the world. You start forth with hope.
  Deep Thought: Normally I’m not one to believe in little green men from Mars. But one night, as I was driving home from a party, I caught something in my headlights I still can’t explain. It had weird, catlike eyes and only stood about a foot tall. It was covered with grayish fur, and walked on all fours, like a cat. It had a tail, which if I had to describe in terms of something here on Earth was, in a way, like a cat’s. Also, it was carrying a ray gun in its mouth. It was either a ray gun or a mouse.
  Today I am grateful for: Dew
