My oh my....2015!! Yesterday I watched the final sunrise of 2014. The colors reflecting off clouds looked like fireworks in slow motion. It was both beautiful and breathtaking in the same moments! I am so grateful for my little "slit-window". Throughout the day, Mountain Rainier ( Just FYI, my children when young, never called it Mt. Rainier, always Mountain Rainier.) stood tall and strong, reminding me that I can do the same. I cannot see the sun set yet I can observe the gentle hand of twilight as it covers the mountain in the soft blankets of nightfall. Slowly, slowly her silhouette fades as she falls asleep. What silhouette shall I leave here ... another haiku? Nite nite Mt. Rainier That which lights you up has set, Stars now shine on you. Normally, ten o'clock at night is "lights out" and TV off; however, last night the guard allowed "the tank" to watch ol' Father Time hand the new year to the Innocent Babe...what will s/he do with 2015? Let's encourage and intend that our leaders may lead from their hearts and show compassion while looking for solutions "outside the Beltway" (is that like outside the box???). In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
