AWAY FROM HOME

I do not enjoy airplanes. My sinuses act up, I come out looking rumpled, tired and ill, so I look upon travel with both excitement and dread. But once landed and unfurled, I am quite glad for the suffering! Look at this magnificent view.

We watched the sun disappear rather quickly into the sea--from a fantastic and surreal orb of flame, to what seemed like a portal into the next life, and then into a blip, before leaving behind this breathtaking sight.

There, on the hill, braving the biting cold, there was only gratitude.
