These are the times that Harper (and I) got up last night. She's usually a good sleeper - except when she's sick. And last night she was sick. Don't worry. She's fine. It's just a cold.
I'm telling you this as a bit of a disclaimer. I am a little tired this morning and my brain is a little fuzzy. That being said, this post is about to get a little weird. Stick with me. Remember, I'm tired...
Ok, so I'm driving in the car this morning and it's raining and gray and cloudy. Suddenly, a clip from the movie
The Matrix Revolutions pops into my head. It's the part where Neo and Trinity are fighting the machines in the machine world and to avoid being overtaken by them, they fly their ship above the clouds. It's at that moment that Trinity realizes that while the machine world is dark and raw and violent, above the clouds the world is bright, peaceful, and beautiful.
Here's the clip (yeah, I actually found it on-line. Amazing.).
Anyway, what made me think about this clip this morning is that when I look at the sky and it's gray and rainy, 9 times out of 10 I totally forget that just above the clouds, the sky is blue and the sun is out. Maybe I need to expand my perspective a little.
