Wouldn't know how to put it in oriental poetry, but the sunrise this morning brought out far too many thoughts and feelings to express that way anyhow.

Most are centered around being truly "home;" the peace and joy I've found here. The grasslands are so green, though the sun has begun to do its work. Now comes the seed and the relentless process that will turn the green grass into standing "hay" to feed the wildlife through the winter... and, unfortunately, might feed wildfires as well.

Life is filled with plenty and peril...
