The dog was uninvolved,
sniffing and shifting
between his ever-varying
Realities,
     validated by
          his Nose.

Fog, for me,
always enables
countless gateways:
     the smell of grass
     in the summer air
     intoxicating a five-year-old boy,
     a seascape in 1946:
the moonpath from
a Poya Moon, and Galle Face Hotel
patio all a-silver
in that magick light:
     the rough security
     of my Father’s hand in mine,
     during long
     and happy walks home:
the song of the Howler monkeys
at dawn
at the Water Conservancy Lodge
on the Guyanese savannah:

true memories all,
located at different temporal loci
along the serendipitous path
of my life,
     but then again,
      then again

the fog shifts,
and we huddle,
awaiting the blessing
of the Stone Circle
while the smaller of the two suns
broke dawn
with showers of violet
     and then

     and then
a grey glimpse
of something
     so incredible,
     so phenomenally
     beautiful
that ...

Dog perused
guardrail scents
judiciously,
while an eastern sun
drank away the mist,
and any quantum foam
that may have
remained.

Sutra 3: See your reality for what it is, not for what you think it is: this is the first step to making your reality what you wish it to be.
--Jim's

As I sit here in a fog, literally, and in the fog here in B.C. that's so thick you can cut it with a knife, I can relate to your dog.   Really enjoyed this walk.

DS:  My beagle, Ranger, is controlled by his nose which does its own quantum shifting.  The fog, to me, is a gateway to different Realities.
Lori:  Thank you. The rambling pathway of my life has been an ever-changing wonder to me.  To share it with you is my pleasure.
Mysteria:  Here on the "other" coast we do get our share...and I love foggy days.  I have a house with a verandah on a hill overlooking a long bay of the Atlantic, and, when the fog is just right, it is like being on the top of a mountain looking down at the tops of the clouds.  Magic!
