It has been happening forever, this apparent cycling of the sun, around the earth - first, black night becoming singed around the horizon, stars discreetly blinking out, revealing a black, paper cut out world below. Moments later, increasing light, the black forms differentiate, turning almost color, shades of grey. black birds and insects zip through the growing light.The sun continues to rise, sending out instant pencils of light, as it reaches up above the trees, glowing.
I am blessed to be in a place where I can enjoy this spectacular show every day, and every evening, with the sunset, rattlesnakes notwithstanding...
