In Us

"The sun shines not on us, but in us."

~ John Muir






The clouds, the sky are spectacular this morning after rain. Stunning pastel shades of lavendar, pink, blue... Wisps of fog in valley... clouds moving quickly across sky. Ridge ablaze. Here comes the sun...

My Mind

"My mind is the key that sets me free."
~ Harry Houdini
Sky is bright red fire w/smears of clouds, just along ridge. Catching my breath. Gray-blue Asheville mountains against sky awash in red, turning golden... Beauty, power, mystery... Toward Mt. Pisgah, cloudless blue sky.

Walked off deck, around yard & garden. Every sunrise photo, a keeper. Ahh, choices...

Breath of Flowers

"In my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers
that perished twenty years ago."
~ Mark Twain


Sunrise checklist: Netbook, check; camera, check; mp3 player, check; coffee, check; jacket, check; shoes... damn, I still need my shoes...
Lots of clouds, but the sun, like love, won't be supressed. Light shines through every sky opening so rays illuminate the horizon. Gorgeous.
My camera's not doing this justice. I've got rays, God's light for sure, breaking through thick clouds.

Secret is Patience

"Adopt the pace of Nature; her secret is patience."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


Clear toward Asheville... Great white Clouds churning & rising like smoke... but think it's too gray here for a sunrise. :(

Red cardinal, perched on nearby bare branch, waits for sun to rise through sky of cold clouds. Scarlett on gray...
And just when you're ready to give up... the sun breaks through...
Don't ever give up. Source URL: http://intothesunrise.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Outside Himself

"A person starts to live
when he can live outside himself."
~ Albert Einstein
Today is my baby brother's birthday... and Albert Einstein's birthday... Perched on this lanai, I'm on top of the world...Every sunrise glows promise, that no matter what, today will be better...
Barefoot, humming, reaching upward, outward, together with sky, clouds, light...Celebrate! Celebrate! Rattle dem bones. Smile and let the sun kiss your face.
Our spirit is stronger than steel...Light, like an angel, tickles the dark places. Erases pain...Why not believe that today will be the best day ever?

Wall Between Two Gardens

Oh, the sky is smeared orange this morning...Sometimes you need a new perspective, so I walked around the backyard for different vantage of sunrise...Looks like the bare branch from this tree is holding up the sun.

Into the Masterpiece

"You lose your grip,
and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece."

~ Leonard Cohen


Sitting between Asheville and Mt. Pisgah. Clear, startling visibility, freezing, sitting cross-legged. Waiting, with REM in ears, for the sun... Golden ridge. Clouds are white smears against baby blue. Snow cold. Half Moon to my right, a saucer. Need more coffee...


There... it...comes... Glorious gold...


Fingers frozen on netbook, Got Jackson Browne strumming Cohen in my ears & sun a fireball, rising. Wake up! Wake up! 1,000 Kisses deep.


Back inside. Can't feel my fingers or nose. THAT was spectacular. Please wait for photo. Wish you all were with me on ridge to see first hand.
