Perfection Simple darkness, lit by a glimmer of cold, silver-white light, slowly growing and enlarging against a setting of blanketed, frozen water -- the snow of the night before. Still unmarred by the prints of man or animal, it shines and reflects the growing light. Moving from silver to a melting copper, radiating heat into the frozen darkness, bringing life and awareness to a new day. Like a rising bubble, transient in its perfection, the snow settles deeper into the warming earth, demonstrating the perfection of a moment, impossible to maintain, but glistening in its dignity. *sigh* It isn't often I get to watch a new day dawn, normally the sunrise is just a warning of the end of sleep .. and the signal to rush to start a workday. I also am a night owl, so the blankets tend to keep me asleep on those few mornings I can sleep past the sunrise. This morning was on of those quiet moments of perfection. Wrapped in somewhat warmth, I sat on my deck, watching the sun reform the world. The snow from last night still unbroken -- the way it causes your heart to ache. You know someone/something will continue on its way through the world, changing how the vagaries of weather created a new piece of paper for us to write a new world upon. A perfect cup of Earl Grey. Just the right temperature, just the right scent, a simple citrus note awaking the brain. Of course my dogs think I am crazy. Why on earth would I sit on a cold deck, hands around a delicate cup, instead of wrapped in the warmth of the house, sleeping soundly. On to my next discovery. |
