Beautiful weather in the morning, so set off light-heartedly on my spiritual walk as planned. Coming over the hill, saw the town spread flat below me and a broad ocean of sky with high-piled cumuli cruising across it. I could see why they say the 'wide world'.

Later, was overcome by feeling of gratitude to be alive, cooking tea and watching high clouds, illuminated from below the horizon by the set sun, drift up from the west.
