Jan 3

missed sunrise this morning, however sleeping in was DElightful and I am enjoying my slow start to the last day of holiday hoopla. :)

Jan 4

well, since pre -dawn shuffled in with a lazy yawn of pale peach as her only contribution and Dawn stayed abed until well after I had gotten to work so I could only see the edges of her pink and gold costume - I vote that I get to go back home- paid. Perhaps its faulty logic, but its a good excuse as any, I think...

Jan 6

watching the *sneeze* morning slowly unfold, filling the southwestern sky *sniffle* with pretty plums and pinks, while the east is burnished golds. Happy to be facing the day*sneeze* - GODBLESSIT,my allergies better not be acting up!! grumblemuttermumble...

Northern clouds were brilliantly lit -desert oranges, browns against plum skies.In the south a lone streak of cloud remained stubbornly unlit.I had smug thoughts. Yesterdays fears of hate and fear winning- were groundless. Nature won't put up with it. As sunrise progressed, parts of the northern clouds fell out of favor and the southern cloud was lit in beautiful pinks. Nature likes to phuck with you

"and you pour yourself over me, like the sun though the blinds" sigh... what a beautiful sunrise... the best ones are the ones shared.

Jan 10

The swirls of the dry snow and dirt from icing down the roads, reflected silver curls swirling along the ground in my headlights this morning. I felt like I was in a Tim Burton cartoon... :)

Jan 11

I caught only the beginning of the sunrise this morning, but it was lovely. A white zin blush was across the low eastern horizon that blushed across the small cloud line that was just above my line of sight. Shyly sweet...

Jan 12

the sunrise was epic. One of those primeval ones, with dinosaurs an' everything. Started with just a touch of color on the huge mass of cloud. Then the horizon glowed hot red and a volcano of light exploded across the clouds. First fuchsias, then bright marigold oranges with a martini olive sky behind it. The best part though for me, was the hole of blue sky, west in the cloudscape, the one the Lorax went through

The gentle pre dawn was just a small glow in the eastern sky, slowly yet pervasively, pushing back The Nothing looming in from the west. Illuminating what at first I thought was going to be a dark day into scattered bits of insecurity, needless fears and a bright fuchsia of desire to live the day well.

Jan 17

Predawn wrapped me in gentle mist that left the world in soft focus, much like how I see my world with out my glasses on. Dreamy, comfortable and a lot less scary.

I like to admire her as she rides in to work, a few blocks from me, at about the same time I do. We "meet" on the 121 in Lewisville. She rides a very nice traditional bike, in full black leathers- auburn hair streaming out from under her helmet. Very dashing/romantic. Today her bike was on the median about a mile from work, surrounded by firemen and their trucks. My prayers are with her this grey, grey morning.

Did you see the moon this morning?! It was Anne Rice! So fat and full sliding sensually though the jagged clouds. It was easy to imagine myself walking through Louisiana with cypress trees draped in moss like Erte women- heels echoing hollowly on cobblestones-scorning the dawn at my back and walking in to the moon as she sets. Oh! It was so beautiful!!

Jan 21

you know those still sort of dreaming thoughts that run through your head as you are waking up? Mine today was "don't forget to write and tell them about the pumpkin shaped like the KoolAid man that was in the shower". - It was so important that I remembered it even when I woke all the way up. So there. I told you about it. :)

this mornings sunrise was lovely in its oranges and pinks.(there was even rocket trails on those 50's sci fi books- just at the horizon!) However- when we went out to my car this morning and got in- my windshield was covered in a *lovely* brocade of silver and white frost so finely detailed that the interlocking fan pattern was clearly visible, sparkling in the light. Mamma N does some amazing work...

Jan 24

carpooled in the morning so I am missing the sunrise. From just the little I can see around the corner in my office she seems to be sleepily stretching, a little rosy from just waking up, the clouds low on the horizon- sleep wrinkles on her cheek.

Jan 25

looks like someone forgot to order more cmyk for the sunrise crew and they had to water down what they had on hand to make it stretchhhh. There was just the most pale wash of rose, just on the clouds for just a moment for predawn and the sunrise is an even more pale rose in to a greyish plum. I'd hate to have been the admin who messed that up...

Jan 26

The half moon this morning set delicately next to a couple of stars (planets?- I guess along with that art class I need an astronomy class) the light from them bright and sharp even with the soft glow of morning in the east crowding in on their space, determined to stand their ground until washed away in the bright light of a day begun.

Jan 28

I watched the sunrise reflected in the pond in front of our apartment. Its cold enough that the water seems syrupy thick. The trees in syrup world, were wriggly and danced about, the half moon winked in and out to shy to stay too long and a pink contrail did the merengue across the sky. Things are very different in the syrup world. They party first thing in the morning.

After a lovely warm and bright weekend, this morning was very grey indeed- however there is plenty of silver lining if you bend it jusstt the right way, squint a little and relax.
