beautiful.

just got back from a beautiful run...from the mission over to the bay up toward at&t park, then over potrero hill (which is much steeper than i had envisioned). at the top of the hill, the sun pierced the clouds for a few moments, even as the rain continued softly. as i looked north, the buildings of downtown below were cloaked in grey...it was surreal and beautiful. my heart was pounding from exertion, and i just opened my arms for a few moments, looked upward and allowed the sun and the rain to wash over me.

i feel cleansed. i needed that.

2008 has had a somewhat disappointing start...being that both bethany and i rang in the new year with 3 consecutive shifts. we are still trying to sort out the path we want to take this year...today feels like a day i might find some clarity.

i am going to start sketching in the sketchbook ryan and holly gave me for christmas. i am also going to read and meditate today.

peace.
