When you say the sky is everywhere, you're thinking of the prairies

Days like today make me want to barrel up a mountain, fly to the top of a tree and scream at the top of my lungs.And then, fearless as the sun makes me feel, I will jump out of my tree and run mad through the forest.

The sun soaks into my pores and floods my bloodstream, shooting straight for my heart, until every pulse beats light through my skin.

It feels like my lungs are going to bust open, because my mouth can't gasp down enough oxygen to please them.

I can count these mind blowing moments on one hand. Since coming here, the weather has been painfully gray, but days like today make me want to jump for joy and sing like a loonie-toon.

Maybe spring really has sprung.
