a perfect moment
One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live for ever and ever and ever. One knows it sometimes when one gets up at the tender, solemn dawn-time and goes out and stands alone and throws one's head far back and looks up and up and watches the pale sky slowly changing and flushing and marvelous unknown things happening until the East almost makes one cry out and one's heart stands still at the strange, unchanging majesty of the rising of the sun - which has been happening every morning for thousands and thousands of years. One knows it then for a moment or so. -- The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Over the years I have witnessed more sunrises than I could ever count. The beauty of them never fails to leave me in awe. This morning, I took Pasadena out for a ride like I do almost every morning. We rode right to the end of our land where there is a creek. While Pasadena lapped up the water, I watched the sun slowly rise. I'm always fascinated by the way the sky lightens up and the whole world awakens. There's rustling in the trees, birds start chirping and everything smells so fresh and beautiful. I close my eyes and let the breeze blow through my hair and inhale deep breaths of the air.
This morning was one of those moments I felt I could live forever and ever and ever. Summer was whispering sweet, promising words through the trees, leaving my skin tingling with the anticipation of what the upcoming months will bring.
