This Morning Looked Like Heaven

This morning has been beautiful. Just before the buzz of my alarm, I was awakened by a thunderstorm. The cracking in the sky was so loud and invigorating. I could hear the drizzle outside my window and I just wanted to lay in bed and listen to the storm. It passed too quickly, and was replaced by my buzzing alarm.

I got up and dressed for rain, though by the time I got outside, there was no new rain. The sidewalks were wet with fallen raindrops but there was nothing new to dance in, so I walked to my car and drove in to work.

The darkness hovered a little longer than usual and then, all of a sudden, it became light. It was as if heaven flipped on the lights and lit up the city. I walked to the row of desks along the windows and stole a glimpse of what could only be heaven. The clouds are silver, reflecting the golden light of the Sun. I imagine this is what heaven looks like. Beautiful, reflective, radiant.

The little puffs of gold and reflective silver are sliding back down behind the mountains, and I wonder what will come next. What other glimpse of heaven will I find today?
