My Bridge to the World

My bedroom window overlooks the front lawn of my house.  Gently pulling the curtains aside, my eyes watch all that occurs in the street below.  I love my windows more than the pictures and paintings that adorn my room’s walls.

Natural, beautiful lighting shines through the glass every morning, awakening to a bright new day.  As the hours trickle by, the sun passes over the house, and evening approaches.  During these hot hours of the day, I leave the curtains shut, in order to keep cool air from escaping the house.  When the heat wave finally does pass, I instantly pull the curtains back and watch the magnificent formation of clouds.  These clouds only exist in the evening and they disappear gradually as night falls.  When darkness sweeps over the land, I lean back in my desk chair and watch as the stars twinkle in the night sky. 

I’ve conveniently placed my desk in front of my windows, in order to drink in, and watch the beauty of the great blue sky.  It relaxes me to sit, writing at my desk, while in the corner of my eye watches the trees wave gently in the breeze.

I feel as if my windows are a bridge between me and the outside world.  Not a puppy, or child, or leaf goes by with me quietly acknowledging its existence with a smile. What a nice feeling that is! :)
