Blue Skies

I never get tired of the blue sky.

                --Vincent Van Gogh

This afternoon as I was driving,

I turned onto a parkway and

was startled at how bright blue the sky was in front of me.

There was a crescent-shaped swath of white cloud 

far above the horizon.

It was dazzling.

Vincent Van Gogh  "Wheatfield with a Lark"

I love the way a blue sky can be so ordinary 

and extraordinary at the same time.
