INTO THE LIGHT

THE MORNING HASN’T QUITE STARTED YET.

THE JOURNEY HAS.

Palm Springs. Early enough that nobody wants anything from you yet.

Coffee somewhere behind you. The rest of the day ahead.

Maybe Joshua Tree. Maybe Nevada. Maybe just the next diner and then somewhere else entirely.

The good thing about mornings like this is that nothing has been decided yet.

You simply drive.

At some point the road disappears into the light and, for a few seconds, suggests that anything might be waiting beyond the next rise.

Of course, it is probably just more California.

That will do nicely.

INTO THE LIGHT.

Some days need a plan.

This one doesn’t.
