Yesterday morning I woke in the dark and realized Wakana was in the living room watching TV. She couldn쳌ft sleep. I figured I was up too so we made coffee, took our breakfast donuts and drove over to the east side of the island to watch the sun come up. It was still dark when we settled on the picnic table bench. The wind was strong from the east and the surf roared out on the reef. As the light came up we could see that the horizon was lost in clouds. The prospects for a great sunrise did not look good. But there were three layers of clouds in the sky. As the sun rose each layer took on a different hue, moving subtly from dark grey through shades of pink and purple into the white of the day time clouds. We didn쳌ft expect to see the sun at all but suddenly a bright spot appeared on the horizon right where the clouds were opened up and we saw the disk rise up into the clouds. It was lovely.
