One Calm Morning

The light — the mystery — the sound of rushing water —
as I keep saying
to myself:
“Return.
Stay present to this
magic, to the amazing blessing to be here
at dawn to witness
the mystery
of the awakening of nature
after the rain.”

“Heliopause,” Photographed 7 May 2010 in Cascadilla Gorge.

When I uploaded the photo to my computer, I noticed the rich purple hues surrounding the small puddle of water and had to share it with you. “Heliopause” looks almost otherworldly — a place beyond all comprehension.
