A MIDWINTER SKY

by contemplativeinquiry

I’m noticing the ever-changing nature of the sky, more obvious when it isn’t overcast. Dawn on Christmas Eve has provided sights of the rising sun that the Solstice didn’t.

But what I notice even more is a changing skyscape, as the clouds continually move, interacting with the light. Such a change after the grey blanket of recent days.

At times during today’s sunrise the grey was still prominent, though broken up so that even the grey had a shape. At other times blue sky has been more evident, with the clouds diminished and wispy. I enjoy the energy of movement and change rather than any particular effect. I follow this celestial story into a bright morning.

Midwinter is part of Nature’s variety, and is varied within itself. Mornings like this make me feel alive.
