Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

In the Calm of Early Morning


In the calm of an early morning such as this, dust lingers in the air above my country road and catches like gray scarves in the nearby long-needle pines.  In the calm of an early morning, you can hear your own thoughts as they tumble from synapse to synapse.  In the calm, babies sleep late and soldiers return home from war.
On a morning like this, I remember how my wife and I once ate saffron flowers and dandelion rosettes for breakfast.
In the calm of early morning, I am what I am.
I am calm.
