I know what it feels like to be up early in the morning, the way the buildings are colder and stronger, the way the steam dances out of the street and off the chimneys of roofs so pure and innocent, untouched by the pollution of the day’s bullshit and congestion. I love that peaceful handoff, the glowing clock of night dimmed and sleepy passing on time to the sunrise of day. The bar flies finishing the last swig of beer, drunkenly caught between yesterday and today, already smelling of tomorrow’s disasters, hazily lost in this seamless transition that has been happening for an eternity. How small we are. How worried we get around the details of our seconds and the price of the ground we stand on. Just look at the sunrise and you will feel like one lucky soul in a moment that is already gone, floating on a place we call earth, that little blue dot among a whole universe of wonder…
I love how you’ve described this day break. I know exactly what you mean.
Jamie,
Temporality, light and the meditative experience make the ground and flow of movement in art. Your work gives me that sense. Thank you
Thank you so much. I’m touched.
Perfect description and such inspiration to get out there and travel

Amazing! The photo and the writing together captures that stillness of sunrise so perfectly I felt like I was standing on a rooftop in the morning breeze.
Great picture, but even better your words 🙂
