Windows 2007

I find pleasure sitting by the sofa next to the window in the living room. Windows seem to give me snapshots of what the outside world looks like. It offers different views, sights, colors, and images that lead me to introspection. Blue sky, the neighbor's rooftop, electrical posts and wirings, the ocean, quiet and busy streets, nightscapes and landscapes, these are some of the scenery that brings me delight. Each new day. The most beautiful thing about looking out from behind the window, moreover, is the awe and expectation of what could be and what is out there waiting to be discovered: The World. The buzzling lights of the city and the flickering reflection of the moon or the sun on the ocean are some of the things that take my mind on a roller coaster ride of imaginative bliss.

THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE WAITING FOR ME.

This coming new year I will sit by the window in the living room for a while. Yes, the Living Room. I will take the time to think, visualize, listen, watch, and clear my mind of bad memories, out of focus shots, negative behavior, and other toxic experiences that I have seen and heard in 2006. I will take heed of Life and what it has to offer me. I will wait and watch the sun rise, and hear God say, "Behold I make all things new."

I will let go of the past. I will claim my tomorrow. I will live my Life today.
