The summer morning, its gentleness, the sense of great work being done through the grass where I stood scarcely trembled.
— Mary Oliver, from “The Perfect Day” in “Long Life: Essays & Other Writings“

“great work being done through the grass where I stood scarcely trembled.” If we can let go, let the great work gently ripple through us…
Exactly!

Your welcome. The expansive sky alluring…when I look at the peek a boo rise of the sun the sky looks low, height rising to the forefront of the photo, as the peek of light cast, lays down across the smooth water. Just such an interesting photo! Definitely in my top 25 favs or your photo gifts to us viewers.
Thank you Christie.
Beautiful image, David.
