October is Different, This Time

I woke up feeling a little better about the world. Not so down or monotonous. Maybe the winds are dying down and the Ions are back in place. Then I drove under a splendid moon. And upon arriving at the beach, I felt the cool wet breeze sliding across my cheek. Indeed, I felt better.

The cold dark sand, glowing under the moonlit sky. What few stars winking among the airplanes circling near LAX. The chill in the air and the thought of hot chocolate commingled.

I stood against the world. And God wrapped me in love. What more could I possibly want?
