The Earth Turns

11/08/2005

One evening of late, I was on a walk with the Princess Leah poodle. The sun was going down behind a mountain, but was still on the face of another.

The humidity and distance were just right to present a clear demarcation between shadow and light on the face of the mountain. As I watched, the shadow moved upward, ever so slowly, as the sun went down.

I was watching the earth turn.
