From here, the fog looks like a soft blanket

I am flying right now and I mean literally flying over beautiful rock formations and snow topped mountains.   I wish I could say it was in a private jet with someone serving me crepes and mimosas while I caught up on all the movies I want to see OR in a small plan piloting it on a site seeing adventure, but alas I am flying in a Super-80 (yuck) to our corporate office for a couple days of meetings.  It helps that our corporate office is in Palo Alto, CA and the weather should be great of course.  It doesn't help that due to the Comedy of Errors that is my life I didn't get to eat this morning or have my tea but I digress.

It all looks so peaceful from up here, the pilot just said we could see the Grand Canyon in the distance.  I have only ever seen the Grand Canyon from the sky, it is on my list of places to visit in person...I want to walk on the sky bridge and look down before rafting down the river.

Back to being peaceful.  On this cloudless day, I can almost see the wild animals on the peaks or plateaus   The red rocks and white snow remind me of Estes park, not that there were red rocks as much as the peace and reminder of how very small we are.  I know there are people down there, roads, offices, houses, schools, but from up here?  Up here there is simply miles and miles of canyons and mountains.

It is unfortunate that I needed to be thousands of feet in the air to remember the peaceful feeling that I had while climbing the continental divide (talk about feeling small) or sitting by the pool in Mexico, or on the beach in Florida...I am going to take advantage of it none the less.

Find your peace today, even if it is for a few fleeting moments and without crepes or climbing equipment.
