WHITE on WHITE

I am trying to come to terms with the unfathomable beauty of the world we live in. The moon was so white early this morning…. almost as white as the centre of the sun streaming in through my window. Have you ever cracked open the brown hairy surface of a coconut to find this impossibly white meat delicately moulded to the undersurface?A pail of freshly squeezed udder milk in the galvanized grey of the pail. Snow… snow… snow….. the roads closed… the fields flat as a plaster wall. Pages of foolscap cracked free from the plastic wrap. The flesh of red apples. The wake of the speed boat against the aquamarine. Appaloosa Stallion with the one red fleck on the yellow Buffalo grass. The  pool of cream in the mouth of the ceramic pitcher. The canines of my brother Wolf against the pink of the tongue and the red blood of the fallen elk buck. The lacquer skin of the abalone. Lambswool under the ewe… twins. Osprey wing feathers. Rattle snake eggs. The cliffs of Dover. Polar bear swimming across the Beaufort Sea… all alone. Lotus petals on a frog pond. A passing thought. I walk in Beauty. The Creation is perfect
