Greet the Day or Linger Here?

I am in my bed,
Cozy and warm as the plush blanket presses against my body. It surrounds me, envelops me and I let it bake my skin softly as gradually,.. MORE! Increasing!! HeaT!!!! As I fall over the edge into radiant star as I become everything I could ever be aware of.
OR
I can walk through the house stretching my muscles and feeling the cool floor beneath my naked feet as it grasps my ankles and spreads across my body, up my calves, around the insides of my knees, over my thighs, up the small of my back, over my shoulders and streaming out through my hair, arms! …My! fingertips tingle as the energy surges through me empowering me as I radiate with sunshine. Draw the curtain back and watch as the sun unleashes its warmth and light inside my cozy cave destroying the darkness and shadow with its Magnitude.

But,.. I'm still warm, still cozy. My dilemma is this,.. Do I?

The covers are heavy with multiple layers of softness. I brush my fingers within their folds as I bid them a fond farewell with promises of returning, sometime. As I push them aside the cool air touches my skin raising the flesh in soft peaks as goosebumps spread across my body. My nerve endings tingling with the new sensation before donning my soft plushy robe. I peek through the curtains,..

Ah, A neighbor, he's out and doing his thing today. No concern of mine. I'm glad he's well. A voice in my head sounds off as I've been trying to be more in tune with those around me.

Let in the neighbors! Maybe not to your life, but at least to your sight.

They’ll stay in their bubble if you’ll stay in yours.

Have a good day neighbor! =) Stay out of trouble.

I’ll wear my robe and you’ll smoke your pot and we’ll be just fine.

I've opened my eyes from me and mine, to us and ours and I feel better for it.


Now I'm breathing in the air of a cool crisp day and grateful for it more so because it has broken the spell of harsh winter freezes for a short time before the following months of winter. But, I know this and I'm all the more glad for it.

Today.
