Into the great wide open…cloud streaked sunrise over Cape Spear.I’m still beaming with all the kind congrats that folks have sent. This was yesterday’s sunrise-the first spot I set up had a cloud occluded horizon but the golden light painted with strokes of autumn. It was bitterly cold but the crisp wind reminded me to embrace the full spectrum of existence and comfort (and discomfort). I am reminded of a Buddhist teaching I received-a reminder that the sun is always shining-it’s just that on some (or many) days, the clouds get in the way.My heart is full at receiving The JL Paton Distinguished ProfessorshipIt was a chilly one this morning. I need to up my windchill photo wardrobe! It’s always lively to welcome the day from the top of Signal Hill.Holding hands makes every walk better especially if the weather is frightful.Spreading rainbows and welcoming a new day…the Bay Bulls Lighthouse. One of my favs.TA’s Facebook Page
