Since the early years of my life, I have been told tales of the green sunset.................just as the sun reaches a level , it turns to an exquisite shade of green. momenterly....only seconds
A MYTH?? A LEDGEND??........didn't matter to me..................I looked
at more than a thousand sunsets in a thousand corners of the world
when ever I had the chance............hoping
I'm a sailor and watch the weather..my back deck is 20 feet from the Pacific Ocean.................for those who can't follow this ,I apologise,BUT
....I was watching straocumulis chainging into nimbo and altering into a giant eagle with beak open racing for ???? Vancouver.....above was a thin band of altostratus into which the sun sank....the tempurature sank 10 degrees...........I'm watching this eagle forming before my eyes on it's eastern run ....feeling the cold and looking back to see when the sun comes back................................
.................there in that thin mist of clouds ....appeared a circle without a center.............and as it continued its heavenly decent.aquired the most fantastic green slowly until the sun ,itself, became , for just a moment,
an emerald beyond worth.....except to cry for................
Thank you for your indulngence and your caring

PALE MIRAGE, THANK YOU !
We are all children until that splendor is taken away from us
I once ,while driving down a hill towards a lagoon, saw a totally indigo water with peach sky panarama ( NO DRUGS INVOLVED )
Keeping the????wonderment ??? of childhood allows one to continue to appreciate the earth in all its glory and magnificence
thank you for caring
