A got windows!

A swift and unpredictable snow storm passed by our little part of the world today… thunder crashed as shields of mixed icy rain and snow slapped the tall windows, darkening the already eternally murky rooms…. I could see the black clouds moving fast as they grouped themselves in peculiar formations and designs, and clashed and jangled in the menacing late March sky…

Then all stopped after a while, Canadian geeses flew low in the dubious sky, almost above my head. I heard their trumpets call across the sky, I knew the sound, pure delight embraced me… I could feel, from somewhere in my body, my own wings abeating, smooth air flowing… I wanted to reach up my arms and touch the birds… if I could, if I only could, I would had join them… fly along with them; swim the air and foretaste their world below as they sounded their trumpets with glee and disappeared behind the tall building…

All these things I know and saw, because today I got an office with a window…. although today I can say with certainty that it rained and snowed, you can almost never predict the weather from inside our one-way mirrored building. A one-way mirror is glass that has been coated with a thin layer of metal on the outside panel so that it’s reflective, like a mirror. In one direction it’s a mirror, but in the other direction it’s just windows… windows meant to reduce light transmission, so you can never be certain of what’s going on outside, whether if it’s cloudy or if in fact, a light rain sways the monotony of the afternoon outside… this is our office building seeing from outside...

The tall trees and sky reflect and repeat themselves against the mirrors.. beautiful, but totally another story from inside... nevertheless, I now have a window, and I’m so high up, that I can almost reach and touch the sky, or so I like to think. Across from my window there is this beautiful old stone church, with its stone tower and the clock that sings the time with the hour...

On top of the stone tower there is the cross—a thin white cross, a mere cross made by man…. But oh, a perpetual reminder of what’s to come, a memento of hope, and faith and of a new glorious day… that blessed day forevermore. I will take more pictures soon and show you what I see from day to day from my window, but for now I hope you enjoyed seeing my world through the mind's eyes.

Sweet dreams everyone! I'm linking this post to Outdoor Wednesday
