The contrast of the cool air from the car AC and the warm, early morning sun rays through the windshield is something else. As I drove out this morning, the sunlight was especially fantastic. It's like your soul wants to break free - starting with the tingles in your arm and the gentle heart shivers. You turn up the volume on the car stereo and sing like a madman and do a little jig with one hand on the steering wheel. Then, you realize that you're on the road, you may have an audience, so you sit straight and pretend like you didn't just succumb to a moment of car-aoke.
I stepped out of my shiny black car, pristine and clean, like an assembled toy straight out of a kid's fantasy. I had a moment to stretch my lazy limbs and consider the beauty of the early hour. And then like some incontrovertible force of nature... s.p.l.a.t!
