Expecting That

I twiddled by thumbs all morning.  It was a blue/gray day with clouds everywhere (except to the west, behind the forest) and almost no contrast in the sky.  It was too windy to work on my blue-morning project (it's a surprise) so I just sat there.

I only knew sunrise had happened because I looked at my watch.  But I sat there talking to some friends until, suddenly, God-beams started shooting out into the valley.  I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting that.
