It's officially June in Los Angeles, which means the return of "June Gloom." Morning fog followed by afternoon sunshine. I love these cool foggy mornings. They have a certain serene quality to them. I love the cold gentle breeze that wafts through the open windows of my apartment. Even though I live in a semi-suburban setting, there is this sense of stillness. I can hear the cars whizzing by but I'm barely aware of anything else. The colors of the flowers and trees standout against the gray sky. The green of the leaves and the lavender of the jacarandas is are brighter. This morning, while out jogging, I felt a light drizzle. How perfect. What a lovely way to start the morning. A state of serenity. I selected the music of Lana Del Rey to accompany my morning. A good choice so far. Now the world outside is quiet. Just the music to serve as the soundtrack to my morning. The "June Gloom" has this way of making the world slow down. It's as if no seems in hurry to go anywhere or do anything. let's have one more sip of coffee, linger over breakfast. Those emails, posts, and tweets can wait a few more minutes. It may be Monday but let's linger a little while longer because it's gloomy outside. I love these mornings, especially when they stretch out all day. Then it becomes very romantic, not in a love sense but more like the type of romanticism that begs for poetry and prose. It's the type day that makes you want to curl up in a corner with a steaming cup of a hot beverage of choice, a book, sketchbook and/or journal. I just wish I had some nice bath products so I can indulge in a long hot bubble bath. That would sound so lovely. Just changed playlists to Funk classics. Nice.
