I can show you morning

When I was nine years old my father introduced me to Nina and Fredrick. I sang my heart out along with those musicians and often would slow down doing the dishes, just so I could sing and sing and sing. One of the songs I particularly liked was “Seven Daffodils”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmHQodSD610 . The line "I can show you morning," has stayed with me all my life and on mornings like this when I lift my eyes from the computer to see a ruby sky, I grab my jacket, pull it on over my night dress and robe, stay shod in slippers, holler to Alanagh and Molly and head to the lake.

It is hard to turn away from the living sky, however something made me do it this morning, and in doing, I saw the full moon behind translucent clouds,  fading in the advancing light.

I am unsure if ever I will be able to convey the peace and comfort I feel watching a rising sun that causes the sky to blush and the lake to respond in kind. Nor will I ever be able to send to  you the sound of a loon on the sweep, the squawk of a heron rising from the reeds, and the gulls calling overhead as they glide high.  I can, however share with you, how immeasurably grateful for these moments in my life and wish you many of the same.
