can't get much better

on my way to work -
This morning was a really, well one of those mornings .. special beautiful A nice morning. On one side the sun was comming up and the sky was really nice. Not bright flashy colours but soft and subdued, and on the other side the full moon was shining amid the pastel blue and purple and pink, while Tom Alen on CBC was playing Jupiter and Mars from the planets by the London Symphony, and I was just rolling along the highway in the middle of it all. It is hard to discribe, words fail when I try to put it down for someone else to share. I can only hope that any one who reads this will have experienced this sort of morning so they know what I am trying to say. "Who will take this beautiful morning and put it in a box for me?" There are a few other outstanding mornings in my memory box. It had rained the night before, we had left camp with the barges and everyone all packed up for a day out on the island. I was at camp HE HO HA the handicap camp on Lac Isle west of Edmonton. We had five or six tents full of people and all the wheelchairs and other paraphanalia sitting around. At three in the morning humm three thirty likely I woke up and got up and went down to the lake. It was absolutely calm. It was absolutely calm. I repete it was! That is the first special thing about that morning, after a rain the air was clean and fresh and it was soooo calm and quite. Lac Isle is away from roads and traffic and other busy people sounds. I could see all the way to the other end of the lake and there was not a ripple on it. I stepped out onto the dock and caused ripples even though I tried to be as careful as I could. It took a long time for the ripples to settle down but they did. There is me floating in space, the clear water under me and the sky all around me it felt like I was standing on nothing, just being there. Then a duck came flying leasurly in with a quack quack it slowed down and skimmed the surface of the water for a hundred feet and then sort of plopped down beside another duck with an absolute minimum of splash. I watched the circle of ripples spread out till they reached the shore opposite me and till I could not see them any more down the length of the lake because they were too far away. It was breath taking.
Yesterday was a four deer day. They were all together and unfortunately on the other side of a field. Going to have to keep one pair of binoculars in the car with me.
