Morning Balm

Knowing that this week was going to be tough for myriad reasons, I offered to drop my daughter off early at school in order to try to capture some of the sunrise before work.
It's quite amazing the power that water has on our emotional state.
Watching the Eastern light intensify, and the water catch the streaks of morning gold, held me mesmerised for a while.
My feet got wet, my hands got cold, my mind stilled.
It helped.
For a while.
