Magnificence

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. Storms gather across wide spaces, magnificent across the horizon, and we seem insignificant. Driving home one afternoon in 2014, a series of storms surrounded us. We stopped at the top of the hill a few miles past Wilbur on Highway 2 at the top of the rising landscape, amazed at nature’s play before us, at the earth’s processes that make us so insignificant.

And so, a poem…

Poetry

Magnificence

Storm clouds swirled tumultuously
Rain steady in spots
At the top of the hill we stopped
Small and insignificant
Beneath the magnificence
Of the earth’s immense complexity.
