i can see for miles

it's after midnight, which means it's late for me. it's a cold wintery night and i almost feel like going for a walk outside just to hear the snow crunching under foot. that's not going to happen though, as i feel my eyelids getting heavier as i type this.

i've been keeping a journal for over 9 years, and i think i'm on book 31. i keep all my books on a shelf by my bed, and on occasion, i grab a random volume and read. the first books were very shallow, mindless dribble, but i think my writing is evolving. i think i'm digging a little deeper. i think i'm seeing the world with more clarity. i think i'm seeing myself with more clarity. i have had the opportunity to look into a mirror and the reflection is appealing, because i know there's more there than what i see. for this i'm forever grateful...

it's really not complicated; it's really simple. it's as clear as the view from the rooftop without a cloud in the sky. can't you see it? surely you must!
