Looking for the sun





It was the mid of the winter. The water in the bird bath was frozen solid. The house down to 68 degrees to save money. Everything was dead, solid, stiff. Longing for the sun occupied most of my days. A flash thought came to my mind. The sun was shinning bright, the sky was clear, the air humid. And it was hot, so hot that the skin was sizzling under the tanning lotion. A plane I took, looking for the sun. The salty air. The humid stagnant air. The blistering sun. I found it. I spent a week of meditating; under the protection of my room walls with the air conditionner set to 65 degrees. Ah!!!! this is life.
