The sky opens wide... Canopy of clouds and that gorgeous sun. I need wider lens...

Something Better
Gray rain clouds with hope-full glimmer of gold. I'll take it.
"There is no medicine like hope,
no incentive so great,
and no tonic so powerful as expectation
of something better tomorrow."

Angle of Repose
"In the mountains where I live,
geologists and miners use the elegant term
'angle of repose'
to describe the precise angle
at which a boulder will rest on the side of a hill,
rather than tumble downward.
I think of that image as the point at which
prayer and action meet."
~ Philip Yancey

Prayer Does It Make a Difference
Remarkably, I thought all was gray this morning, but was treated to (brief) glowing horizon as I said my morning prayers.

Good Grace
Hazelnut coffee. Light dusting on ground. Gold blue twilight. No clouds. Mighty ridge. Should be clear cut sunrise. :) Good morning!

Choices
"You are your choices."~ Alexandra Stoddard
Can't begin to describe this sky--blanket of dotted clouds--across & above--in orange gold wonder. Unbelievable... Which one, which one do I post today? How do I choose?
I choose all.

Singleness of Purpose
"You can have anything you want -
if you want it badly enough.
You can be anything you want to be,
have anything you desire,
accomplish anything
you set out to accomplish--
if you will hold to that desire
with singleness of purpose."
~ Robert E. Lee

Hard for me to not believe in the existence of God when I behold this beautiful, fiery sky.

Your Motto
So nice of the sky to glow red this morning...
So nice of the sky to glow purple this morning...

Your Deepest Presence
Sunset's gentle colors...
"Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror
up to where you're bravely working.
Expecting the worst, you look, and instead,
here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see.
Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
if it were always a fist or always stretched open,
you would be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence
is in every small contracting and expanding,
The two as beautifully balanced and coordinated
as birdwings."
~ Jalaluddin Rumi

Live Together
Back from walking in the snow. My lungs are filled with the clean Twilight Sky, sparkling stars, and clouds gathering, waiting for the sun...Everything so pretty here. Cold, but invigorating. Conducive to creativity. Feel full up with joy...

Inner Fire
Apparantly it is -1°F on this back deck. No wonder I can't feel my face or fingers. (But the sunrise sure is pretty.)
"In everyone’s life at some time,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter
with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people
who rekindle the human spirit."
~ Albert Schweitzer

To Love Deeply
Let the sun rise in glory...
Oh my magic sky!
"To Love deeply in one direction
makes us more loving in all others."
~ Anne-Sophie Swetchine
First light along the ridge. Gold and gray clouds. Sunrise coming this morning. YAY! ...Two deer watch me watch the sun... Snowflakes... Red horizon...

Organized Life
Freezing outside. But the twilight blue, emerging light, & stars along the ridge cleanse the soul.

As For Me
"As for me, I know of nothing else but miracles."~ Walt Whitman
Gentle snowflakes, glowing sun crests and breaks through the clouds. That glow, my heart. Love and aloha.

What You Do
Just a dusting of snow yet still so much radiance...
"Now is no time to think of what you do not have.
Think of what you can do with what there is."

Love Like That
Thank you, @primalmarks..."Even
After all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
'You owe Me.'
Look at what happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky."
~Hafiz

Cloudless sky awash in twilight blue, glows gold along my ridge. Venus winks a fanciful dream above. I wait, happy, for the sunrise... Now everything is golden. The sky, my heart, this day...
