fog

Fog makes the world intimate.

Fog is a still rain that has donned color and form.  

Fog seems tangible;

but not enough for holding, or acquiring its sensation.  

Fog begs you recognize that there are things beyond your sight;

  things you would pretend you knew if you could see them.  

Fog can be beautiful or it can reveal beauty.

Fog is a wild calmness a shroud, a surrender;

an invitation to wonder, and to accept.  

Fog can hide what you wish you could see.

Fog seeks patience.

Fog can overstay its welcome, can bring to much closeness;

can limit the same senses it invites to reflection.  

Fog is a shadow that points to the light.

With gratitude,

Joanna
