amazing day

 I went away for awhile and came back to Fall colors...

 Waiting for the sun to rise above the clouds... Look at the sky!

"i thank You God for most this amazing 

day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees

and a blue true dream of sky; 

and for everything

which is natural 

which is infinite which is yes" 

~ e.e. cummings

Radiant Heat

Just back from a short walk, got lost in the music of dozens of birds who like me wait for the sun...  

"The body seems to feel beauty when exposed to it
 as it feels the campfire or sunshine,
 entering not by the eyes alone,
but equally through all one's flesh
like radiant heat,
 making a passionate ecstatic pleasure
glow not explainable."

~ John Muir

Those Clouds

"Those clouds are angels' robes.--
That fiery west
Is paved with smiling faces."
~ Charles Kingsley
