Yesterday, a weather advisory was issued in San Francisco due to a dense layer of fog that was covering the Bay Area.
I heard this from a pilot because I was 35,000 feet in the air, on an airplane. He said there was a chance we might go into a holding pattern as we approached the airport. Luckily, we didn't or I surely would have been late for work.
Honestly, though, the fog was thick. When it hovers so low and heavy, it feels as though there's no visibility at all. Sometimes I wonder how pilots do it.
Flying through the air, in a cloud of white. Are we landing? Is it soon? And then suddenly, in what feels like 10 feet from the runway, there is the land.

I always say a little silent "thank you life" when this happens. I suppose gray skies are expected during this time of year. Especially in higher altitudes or on the east coast, when ominous skies tell of a storm approaching.
If the sun shined everyday, would we appreciate it as much as when it shows its face after a long hiatus? I, for one, love the fog.
I love how it reminds me of when I first moved to San Francisco. Those first few mornings, waking up to a new kind of morning. A new kind of waking up.
The misty air hangs in the city like a mobile, softening the entrance into the day.
Emboldening the details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Only to slowly burn off, presenting the sun.
