Cropped Perception

???????????????????????????????

The sign said 65 mph. The sign behind the speed limit flashed “Use Caution.” Can I zip along the winding road at 65 mph if I am careful? Or perhaps 65 mph only between the two signs? Is the speed of caution…..

Stunned into stillness I could not even bow. The sunrise, like a tsunami, burst through the curtains as I greeted the day. Immediately James Taylor’s song “Fire and Rain” flooded my brain…”I’ve seen fire and rain.” But the song is of loss. This was not…..
