I went out on an April morning
All alone, for my heart was high.
I was a child of the shining meadow,
I was a sister of the sky.
There in the windy flood of morning
Longing lifted its weight from me…
Swept as a sea-bird out to sea.
~ Sara Teasdale, from “Morning” in “The Collected Poems Of Sara Teasdale”

“A sister of the sky…” beautiful. The skies here in Florida are magical. It’s one of my favorite things about this place. Happy Thursday, pal…
