Morning Walk


During walk-the-dog time just before dawn this morning, I noticed that were some cool clouds developing in the eastern sky. I was only half-awake, but it seemed that maybe there was the possibility of a nice sunrise.

Then a bit of fog began to gather in the trees, and a light rain fell.

The sun rose over Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains to the East. The fog and the raindrops and my whole world (or at least the part the dog and I could see) caught fire with the most amazing light. The dog stood still. I think the light scared him...

...But, now that I think about it, the dog’s name is Buddha, so maybe he knows a moment of enlightenment when he sees it.
