Current Phase

I saw you in the morning sky.

Exuberantly bright as you were about to finish a night of glory.

So beaming, so happy, so full of life.

Yet less than 2 weeks ago you were nearly invisible, lost in the darkness.  Seemingly so sad, so dim, and then just a sliver of light, only peeking at the world, very slowly being restored.

You'll fade again; I know it.  Slowly slipping back into cold, still blackness.

Even then, during the times when you don't seem to be around, I always look up and search among the stars to see where you are.

I saw me this morning, in the sky.

Coqui

11:50pm.  Mountain View, Big Island.

Wendy is asleep, exhausted.  It is nearly 3:00am her time (and mine).

Yet I sit outside, the nearly full moon above fast moving clouds, listening to the non-stop loud chirping of the Coqui frog.

The guidebook warned me of the blight of this invasive species.

Yet this video I just watched changed my viewpoint.  They are beloved in Puerto Rico.
