At that hour the sky is pitch dark, just the quiet and a dog or cat yodeling; but later, rich pinks flood the sky, usha arun ney kumkum pagaley.. those were the words I remember from a song learnt in class 4, and there has yet to be a better capture for this dawn parade, or the finery of gold spun over the frangipani.

Each day teaches me something new about human nature. Will polish and use in a story, not to worry.

Love your reflections on nature and human nature. I think you would like to see our sky-bright night sky, here in the longleaf pine woods of northwest Florida where there is not too much light pollution.

Maybe when you are on a book tour, eh? :)
