Simple two notes

two simple notes
drifting over the meadow
a chickadee sings

Much like the snowflake, every morning sunrise is different. It seems to me that no two morning sunrises will ever be experienced the same. Each new dawn Nature provides a new canvas and uses every tool at her disposal in her creative task. Using the wind, temperature, light, the chickadees song, cloud shapes and patterns, maybe even knowing my intention and attitude that morning, she continuously offers an experience. We never know what she will offer. Maybe that mystery alone is what draws me out here.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    No matter how arranged, it would be near impossible for a scene painted by dawn breaking in a blaze of color to become run-of-the-mill or boring. I think witnessing it gives some sense of participation, and there’s joy in that.

    Beautiful photo, Monte.

      You are so right, Earl. The participation can be a blast, fulling, healing in so many ways as well as the joy you mention. Clouds have moved in and wind has picked up. I’m hoping it rains since I washed my car yesterday! 😂

    Beautiful, absolutely beautiful…the dawn and the poem and the contemplation. The peace that I need this morning. Thank you!

      Good morning, my friend. Hoping all is well you. It’s not quite as peaceful at the moment as clouds have moved into the area, thunder is rumbling and we have the smell of rain. Hope you have a great day and weekend.
