The sky and I have been fast friends since childhood.
This piece makes me feel wrapped up and held in her soft vastness.
I forget to notice sometimes.
That's when she sends me a pallete of color that
jolts and awes me into remembrance and presence.
I've learned not to look away as the tableau dissolves
almost as quickly as one can blink.
My photos are filled with portraits of her.
And the angle is always up except for
when I'm looking out of a plane
when I get to see her at eye level.
(We won't speak of what that plane does to our Earth.)
This piece has given me a gift...
it's focused a quiet light of notice on
something astonishing; constantly present,
moving from light to dark and back again,
with the power of instantaneous change,
while remaining dependable, predictable, and steady.
And there's this...we all share this wonder.
Everyone, anywhere on this planet
is connected to her even though we
may be seeing her wearing a different ensemble.
How can we not be astonished?
Namaste'
