I am From Between the black and the dawnlight, when the stars are pale and small, there’s a hush before the birdsong– then the wind begins to rise. Where the beach never reaches the ocean, and the sand goes on forever; coyotes yip in the distance and hawks spiral up to the sun. That’s where I’m from. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Calm, silence, soothing dull light of early morning and low tide. Sounds lovely. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I'm very lucky, guys. I can stand outside any time I want to and look up into the sky. Isn't that a marvelous privilege? Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
