Awakening to morning mist and clouds...to the quiet that comes after the energy of extreme heat and dazzling bright light.

A reprise.

A relief.

A moment of silent repose.

I admit to loving these days. When it's easier to turn in..than to look out. When I have to really search for something to be seen...and to be found.

And then and there - this was.

Amazing - how one little flash can light up a dark space....how one bit of color can render a color-less scene color-filled.

How - one smile can make a world laugh....and how - one genuine warm hug can heal. How the energy expands and grows and reaches and spreads...

And - I thoughtto myself - it really was the just right start for this new beginning. I do so love these damp...wet...rainy summer days.
