The rising sun is warm on my cheeks the sky must be clear, at least at the horizon. I tie it around my head like a blindfold, settling a smile on each of my closed eyelids. I feel strangely unsettled, so I pick one that might help: the yellow cotton with embroidered happy faces. I finger through them, checking the plastic tags, gauging my mood.
