Beautiful Bookends

Yesterday, we had rain. Beyond the much-needed water to our drought-stricken state, it made for an amazing sunset.

This morning, as soon as I saw the cloud formation in the eastern sky, I knew the sunrise would be good. The train ride was a race against the sun. So glad I won.

Respite is also glory

I left the house early this morning so that I could procure the seeds of the elixir of life from Starbucks. To my delight, the store had moved to its new location, on the same side of the street as Creek Park. So this morning, after an hour of scanning sources for my literature review, I replenished my coffee beans and my soul. These two varieties of beauty were both enjoyed. This too is glory.
