Up in the air

One of my all-time favorite things to do is to lay down under some trees and look up at the sky. The details which make this sky-watching activity perfect are: 1) a blue sky, with a few puffy clouds being acceptable. 2) a light breeze to make the tree tops sway. 3) having my sweetheart looking up with me. Never does our loving creator seem so close, never do life's chores and pains seem so distant. My recommendation for reducing our world's crime rate is to pre-sentence all humans to an hour per week of this activity. The peace we would all get from that hour should keep us from even thinking about evil deeds. Those who do commit a crime should be sentenced to sky-watch for an hour per day, two hours for two crimes, etc. If nothing else, many of us would eventually be too tied up watching the sky to commit any crime at all...
