The flat light of 7:00 am fills the valley that is my home in Utah.
The sky is blue with light but the sun is not "up" yet. The mountains
surrounding me appear painted flat on the sky in shades of white and
gray. The community nestled below and to the south of me appears as a
splatter of golden lights as though flicked there off the end of a
paintbrush.
By the time I leave my daughter at the door of her school the tips
of the western mountains begin to glow with the arrival of direct
sunlight. As the glow slides slowly down the slopes the mountains assume
their majesty as the flatness melts away. Another day is born into
beauty.
Don't ever forget to stop and smell the roses.
