I Get Off the Bus at Dexter and Denny

I sat on my balcony this morning, as I always do, and watched the sunrise. I was treated this morning to a pretty good one. MIA was active. But not in the way they usually are. Most times the planes are on approach from the West over the Everglades but this morning they were coming in off the ocean. One plane I saw in particular was some distance off and getting into position was a approaching a cloud, a giant thunder head. It was the same cloud that inspired 'This Type of Thinking' http://wootsbybrett.blogspot.com/2009/07/change.html. As it got closer and finally situated itself between the cloud and me, it revealed so much. It showed distance and perspective of where that plane is and where it's going. But what I love most about living close to an airport is that it keeps things in perspective. It keeps me sane.
So often we get bogged down in the same thing day after day (that's also one reason I blog). I mean the plane shows that there is more out there. That some how I don't have to stay in one place, that there is a way to move. Not only is there a motivation to go, but also a way to go. I'm stuck right now. Not that that's a bad thing. But I know that being stuck is just that, and that won't work. Not for me. What is so timely about this is that I'm leaving for the weekend. I'm going someplace. I don't want to say. Some of you know where I'm going. It's really not a big deal. I just don't want many people to know where I am ( A la Drifter style.....Chad). Short blog today. I've got to pack. But take away this.........GO! Just Go!
