Love What You See

Thank goodness I am an early riser. So much beauty awaits us just for the taking at 5:30 or 6 in the morning. Last Friday's gift to me is still so clear in my head. The mountain--Mt. Tamalpais-stood clearly in the early morning light. A third of the way down, away from the top, a scarf of chiffon fog floated across the rocky surface allowing the top of the mountain to jut toward the sky. It didn't seem to be my familiar landmark but something gigantic from another country. I could not take my eyes away from this treasure. I wonder if all of us need to look around a little more to really see the beauty. It doesn't have to be early morning, any time will do. Turn away from ugliness and drink in beauty.
