Mariah arrives as dawn spreads first color this first day. A glimmer portrays water. Traffic noise joined by the auto start of my son’s truck. I remember colder mornings clearing windshields starting the car, defrost on full blast so I could see by the time I finished breakfast, to drive to work. An hour of back roads, of music, of watching the world wake up.
Consecrated moments, like a prayer.
