i have been spending time in nature and also i have been experimenting with science and reading books. dave went on a cruise a few weeks ago and andrew is busy with a new science invention he is experimenting with. i still think about my friends as they cross my mind a lot, but there is so much wonder out in the world that i find myself wrapped up in it. i think my lunch buddy steve is busy with his summer work and my special friend having fun with his girl. i’m just glad that i still carry the memories of my friends with me and sometimes when i do something, it gives me a sense i’m acting like them at times. when i laugh and glance up at the heavens, i get feeling in my heart when i realize i am acting like my special friend who lives each moment of his life in joy. today i got up for an early morning run and i saw a beautiful sunrise. the sun’s golden rays were like a halo striking and illuminating up the world and the crimson sky was breathtaking, also the slight breeze that rattled the trees was great as the birds were singing their tune. i feel like there is a a new awakening in me of my soul b/c everywhere i look at in nature, i am filled with awe. i love just to listen to the rain and the birds flying in the sky.
