there is something heavenly about days like these. the air weighs heavy on our shoulders. the heat's oppression is broken by cool breeze. after a morning enveloped in grey, small blue pieces of sky begin to break their way through thick clusters of clouds. everything feels at peace. there is a quiet calm that exists and it feels like heaven. i look up at this masterpiece of sky and breathe in the faint smell of rain, and i just feel the closeness of the Creator. He is here. i see, hear, feel, taste, and smell his love and grace in these beautiful moments.
