Some mornings the merest hint of light  creeps in through the cracks and begs you to crawl from your bed to see what you'd have missed if you stayed too long in the land of dreams. Water Like Glass © 2010 Meri Arnett-Kremian If you listen to your heart, if you pull on your clothes despite your inclination to snooze just a few minutes more, you just might find near-perfect light and calm waters.

This morning, thanks to the relentless door bumping of my cats who thought I was a laggard, I was up before the sun. On a wet Pacific Northwest morning, with heavy overcast and leaking clouds, there is scant reward for being up so early, except not having to hear the cat thumps and bumps. Ah, but in Egypt it's a different story. "Luxor Sunrise" © 2009 Meri Arnett-Kremian No matter where you are, no matter how gloomy the skies, I wish you the colors of a Luxor sunrise.
