Do you take the Sun for granted

[surfermike]

I often take the Sun for granted.
The past few decades with the likes
of ageing, and cancer, we seem to
have forgotten how incredibly perfect
our sun is. It's like we're scoulding it
because we messed up the ozone.
I live right on the Canadian/American
border, in a cute little beach town called
White Rock. It's very chilly, and drizzly, but
for five minutes today the pesky sun found
a hole in the clouds and streaked in two
incredible tubes down to the ocean flood about
500 meters from shore. It was so magnificiant,
I couldn't walk away until the tubes vanished.

Do you ever take the sun for granted?

Yes I do take it for granted. Also the sky. Maybe I take the sky more for granted. Been out in the country in the Big Texas sky. Yesterday it was grey and black clouds steaming to the north like an armada. Today it was a pacific beach, wild surfy looking clouds and patches of blue. I can't describe the surf, it was as if I was standing on a cliff looking down on a rocky beach. Instead of looking up.

Take so much for granted. I find myself sometimes almost getting run over by a four wheeler. Because I take for granted that the driver sees me in the cross walk. That he will stop for the stop sign.

I fished off the coast up to the BC line but we always headed back to Ilwaco. Never stopped in any of those towns. Just spent a lot of time running scared on those mountain roads when I had eighteen wheels under me. Now I got only two, and life is so much sweeter.

Happy poppy day mike. Good to see you.

Surfermike!
I haven't seen you in so long! How are you?!

I take teh sun for granted sometimes, on nights when I want the solitude and quiet of loneliness.
I also pine for the night when I want to go to Manhattan...the city is sooo beautiful when the sun disappears
