The dawn this morning was incredible. In a clear, cold stillness the infinite diamond patterned, indigo inked expanse began to melt against a jagged gradient of rising turquoise over the Cascadian east exalted in a glassy reflection from still waters, until suddenly and silently the universe transformed wholly into luminescing navy blue, drowning out all star light except for Venus, who was still shining bright against the golden approach of the solar onslaught, as I exited reality in exchange for the manufactured existence that was the catalyst and facilitator for my experience of this night-to-day transmutation.
