Floating in the Clouds

From where I sit, the earth is miles away, and the trees, fields, farms, buildings and even mountains people squabble over are insignificant. A tree might as well be a fleck of dust. I feel closer to outer space than I do Africa, though she sits beneath me only 7 miles. I see the darkened sky and dream of the clear lights I see at night. It certainly gives the rat race a bit more perspective.
