A January Morning


These moments, I watch the early morning sun creating a shadow play of palms trees on my wall. Fronds shifting with wind creates a lacy, moving, gobo effect. Negative space of the shadows weighting to the left, balanced by the positive space of light on the right. The shape of the window frames the picture. Creator creating another stellar piece of art. A moment of beauty that will never look just like this again. Like dance. Watching the light is one of my favorite things to do and it plays so beautifully in this space as it makes its journey down the wall and across the floor.

The score is sea surging and bird calls. Wind shifts air to sound through the various trees in the park-like grounds that surround the casita. Contrapuntal rhythms like the life of this body, beating heart, breathing lungs.

I love early morning in my Caribbean loft.
