Wild and Weird...

One thing I got wrong in my last post, (see previous post), the sunrises over here next to the lake are much more impactful. Get up early and you can watch this enormous, amazing, unfathomable ball of flame rising up over the lake. You can say to yourself, "That's the Sun." But, you know, that doesn't quite capture the glory, the mystery, the mind-boggling truth of it.

You can't help feeling a bit like one of those over-matched Apes in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". Something is going on. Not exactly sure what. But something. You can't deny that there are forces much bigger than you, doing the things they do. All you can do is be a silent witness and either take in the beauty, the power, the glory, and the smallness of our human world, or retreat into your own cloudy cluelessness. See the sunlight bleeding across the water. Now that is a force. That is a power. That is wild and weird. And they say that flaming ball gives life to all life on this spinning globe.
