Oasis

It's weird that I should be thinking of paradise today. The sky has been gray all day. The temperature is cold. There is an 80% chance of rain tonight. I certainly have no extrinsic motivation to be thinking of paradise. However, I have mentioned my son twice today—my son who now resides with the Giver of Life on the other side of the time warp. I can't fathom his level of happiness. But, I think paradise comes as close as possible to describing that level of happiness.
