Whose rays are all ablaze

I trudged up campus on an overcast morning, lost in a whirl of conflicted thoughts about recent developments; and without warning, a cloud moved, and the sky exploded into brilliance.

Suddenly, colors were thrown into sharp focus, and I couldn’t help but grin more and more on my way up campus– a nod to a friend walking through the magnolia grove, a sunny grin received and returned to a former classmate walking past the dogwoods, smiles to acquaintances in the crossing paths across a hill, a high-five– “only two more days!” to a dormmate as I left the building I sought to run an errand in…

I woke with my mind in a muddle confusion but now, as I wait for my thrice-damned and ever-beloved camera battery to charge, and for the sun to come out once again, with salmon and avocado sushi in hand, I can only grin and love life.
