100 Day Project. 5 February, 2018

The stars are out tonight,  sparkling like gems in the black sky.   I just took the garbage out and that is always a job I really don't mind. In fact,  I look forward to it.  It's always quiet out and its a time I get to enjoy the views of the night.  The black pines against the night sky with stars twinkling beyond.  Sometimes,  a vision of the moon. And below,  the ground is covered with a blanket of white,  blushed in blue.

While writing each day is difficult, perhaps this discipline is teaching me to enjoy the beauty of winter.  The darkness brings rest and a different kind of light.  The mirrored light of winter.  The mirrored light of the night.

Mirrored Light: Day 12 of 100 Day Project

I began my third 100 Day Project two weeks ago tomorrow.   It has been a challenging one.  I have taken on a writing project.  So I will try to post something every 10 days or so.   

So I walked into our Master Bath tonight and looked up through the skylight to a night shaded sky with clouds moving past. I watched them for a moment and then attempted to take a photo of the framed view.  It was just a small rectangular view of the cloud formations that were shifting before my eyes.   I wasn't seeing the whole sky or even the moon  - just a small portion of a few clouds lit by the moon.

The shots I took didn't turn out, but I suppose those moments with the clouds are trying to teach me that I don't always need to see the big picture.  Maybe just seeing a segment is just as beautiful.
