Trash swans

Life!  It's more about what I think than what is.

I remember driving through Atlanta, Georgia one year.  Up ahead of us, in a suburban neighborhood, was the most magnificent white swan I had ever seen.  Turned out to be a white trash bag, but the awe I felt till that became obvious was magnificent -- and very real.

My life is full of these sorts of things.

I have one foot on the earth but the other is out there, soaring through places only my imagination can take me.

Or maybe not, because my real life is often a fairytale manifest.  I have experiences no can believe are real for someone like me, but they are!

I honestly don't know why.  Perhaps only because I am foolishly ready to try new things, or perhaps I am just blessed, but whatever the reasons, I am profoundly grateful.
