The Gifts we Sometimes Forget.
Cool sweet kisses from Night
To beloved Gaia
O silver drops of dew
Aurora shrugs off evenings gifts
Let fly the mantle of fog
Rising clouds swiftly
Smile, and break forth Day

-- by Mamma Vash


This morning was up and at 'em early--- weekend duty. We all have to take turns, and go in to keep the machine (paperwork that is) sated and running. Normally, Mamma sleeps late on weekends-- today on rising, I felt the cool misting fog drift in the canyon, from the ocean about 60 miles away. It swirls, and feels so light and cool.. the marine layer is so thick, the early rising sun looks like a silver disc floating on a shimering curtain. I have to drive over 50 miles, but I look at the mountains,beginning to peak out, with much seemingly hidden from view. Each day, I look so hard at the mountains as I pass, I seem to memorize each bush, twig and leaf. And each time,it subtley seems to change in a way I can't describe. Though I have lived in the little canyon for 8 yrs, I greedily soak in the sights so as to never lose it. We have moved many times in the past, so I have learned not to take much for granted.
And the poppies have exploded into carpets of gold and yellow, with hawthorne bushes blushing pink . When everyone has yet to rise, there's a quiet riot of colours. While driving, I played some cool jazz. Once at work, the mist was fading, the sun just a little warm. Mamma thought that though weekend duty was not a favorite, this morning seemed to be glorious despite it all. And when the work was done, a cup of spiced chai(Thank you Wolfy for your wonderful suggestion !), and maybe even---- a donut (sugar attack !) could be mighty tasty indeed.
A canyon salute for Ozy J and Yami... if you could see the sunrises, and sweet pink hawthornes with breakfast on the veranda .

Sharing thoughts of nature with hopes for a sparkling week for Ozy J,Wolfy, Yami,KamiyaUsagi, Thrush Battersea, Zen Origatou, Silver Falcon, and friends I am yet to meet.
Milkycat, I hail you, wherever you are.
