Collaboration with Redbubble Author, Enivea .....Dancing in the Dawn
Dancing In The Dawn Author: Enivea
Standing on top of a hill, a cold wind blowing in our faces.
Standing in the pale dawn light while we wait patiently for the sun to rise.
Standing in the centre of a ‘fairy’ ring of mushrooms.
Standing with a friend who had never before stood and watched the sun rise.
Standing with my dog, who thought the humans so strange.
There is much to commend those
Who break a habit of a lifetime
And rise to the challenge
To experience
A moment
Fully.
There is something very special
To witness another in that moment
And to feel their wonder as they experience
That which has held humans in wonder over eons.
There is something very special
To witness an event that happens every day
Yet happens only once.
The sun has risen.
It’s light casts long shadows
And we play with the shadows,
Dancing in the fairy ring of mushrooms
On top of a hill, with a cold wind blowing.

Tony Ryan
Beautifully gentle and inspiring image. The rising of the sun in such a location is a true wonder. One that so few embrace fully. We humans so seem to miss the joys of life as we are so conditioned to struggle for survival and to compete with eachother.
Virginia McGowan replied
Tony, thanks for a really great comment.I enjoyed immensely painting from Enivea’s sensitive writing. [We are both in the same barbwire canoe up the creek and no paddle]
Rosalie Dale IPA
Very well done, both of you.

very cool! as i looked at the picture i found myself transported back to days when i was younger and out exploring the world, and then i read the words … it was exactly what i was thinking about! it’s always funny to hear someone say what you think – especially when what you think feels rare and precious!
