If Only for a Moment…
…We are lost in the tumult, forgetting where we are…a ray of tangential sunlight skims the troposphere and illuminates the scattered fragments of weather and swirling remnants of contrails in the early morning sky above Mobile Bay…the landmarks that once oriented our travel along the periphery of the Gulf seem obscure in the monochromatic shadows of twilight, while the swirling orange radiance in the heavens captivates us…in a momentary escape from all concerns, our spirits flow with the motion of the clouds and revel in the electric sensation of the earth’s illumination.
