What the morning sky can tell you

Lake Michigan at Dawn, Diana+ camera

No experience is as grounding as getting your bare feet in dirt.

Beginnings are more beautiful than your finishing-obsessed mind will concede.

Real air, infused with the real scents of nature, is good for your body AND soul.

Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, in this endeavor or a hundred others to come, the sun rises and the sun sets, and in that you can find comfort.

When the light finally comes, color saunters in, several steps behind.

No matter who you are, how you feel, what thoughts swirl in your head or which circumstances spin around your feet, it is morning.  It is day.

I really need to let this sink in...What a great way to start my day.

The challenge is this...how do we know what the beginning is until we are already on the journey?

"the sun rises and the sun sets . . . " In that you can find more than comfort, although comfort is more than enough.

I am smitten with the Diana- I spent a shameless amount of time looking at all the options and exploring the flickr group- I'm sold! Thanks for your insights, can't wait to start my Diana journey!
