Brightest sun
middle of the day
I cannot stand to return its gaze,
but in the early morning
as it barely lifts above the horizon,
I breathe in golden light,
with open eyes
feeling it expand to fill my temples.
I carry the memory of colour,
radiance,
birdsong,
all day long
and it warms me.
The sight is certainly beautiful
But the idea of a new cycle dawning
full of fresh potential
is simply intoxicating
Header Photo taken at dawn – my favourite part of the day because ..well as per the above poem. Location Monkey Mia, a remote little place in Western Australia which has become famous for its dolphins which come in close to the beach and enchant all of the tourists.
I was up before anyone else and had swum a few hundred metres off sure when I suddenly had the inkling that if dolphins were around then so were sharks. And then I headed back to shore briskly, but had no encounters with either sharks or dolphins 🐬 We saw the dolphins later in the morning and they were magical.
