more than what's in front of me

it was dark, dark when I closed the blinds last night

when I opened them this morning, 

this was my view

a stucco wall

I quickly closed them again

I'd been hoping for something a little more scenic

because I'd seen the mountain across the road when we arrived last night

I went to breakfast 

I was disappointed, there was not much of a selection 

I grabbed an apple, a cutie a bowl of cereal and coffee

I actually made a mocha by adding hot cocoa mix

when I was done, 

knowing what the view was from my room 

I went to sit in the rockers in the front and this greeted me:

I wonder how much beauty I miss because I am reluctant to change my position
