Above the Clouds
In celebration of Earth Day.

I’ve travelled a lot in the past two years.
I love flying. I love the hours of time where no one can reach me, need me.
I always get a window seat and spend much of the flight looking out the window. The earth is an amazing place and seeing from 10-30 thousand feet in the air is never boring. I’m constantly fighting the urge to yell at the other passengers to look outside.

There are weird things like the red/purple lake.

Shapes in the earth that I am convinced are remnants of meteors skidding along the surface:

Gorgeous sunsets - of course:

But the sight that always makes me catch my breath, makes me smile, lifts my heart and fills me with hope and joy?
It’s always clear above the clouds.
