Homeward Imaginings

Straight ahead of me the mare leaping over a hedgerow changed into a shark gliding near the surface of the ocean before morphing into Sonic the Hedgehog burying his way into shadows.

 While all of those changes were going on, off to my left a dark cauldron of boiling and bubbling liquid transitioned to a blindingly bright bouquet of marshmallows.

Such was the entertainment provided by the rapidly shifting clouds during my drive home. A drive that seemed to go by in a fraction of the normal time given my wandering attention. While I appreciated the opportunity to let my imagination run wild, I was sorry I couldn't have spent the day lying on my back and wholly losing myself to the sky.
