The air and sky - they know
It's 5.00am, September 1st. And the air and sky - they know these things, and speak of it with chill.
They know summer is done, beaches played out, and that for many, this morning is the unofficial New Year - a new year full of fresh starts, new beginnings and adventures barely yet conceived. We know these things - and so do air and sky. So they chill us out of lethargy - and throw up above, an ethereal and spacious ceiling of blue.
It's 5.00am, September 1st, and New Year's Day. We shall take care as we go. But more than that, we shall take risks - for as van Gogh said, 'Heaven is for the daring'.
'So give to the wind you fears
Hope and be undismayed
God hears your sighs, and counts your tears,
He shall lift up you head.'
