New Mexico Sunrise

November 16, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Good morning, good morning, good morning! I got up at 4AM this morning (gasp!) to write to you. No kidding. Since I’ve been sick (see previous post An Antidote for Pain) my queue of pieces to post has dwindled down to ZERO (gasp again). What that means is that I’m, mostly, writing to you each day. On the one hand, I really like it because I think it makes the blog fresher. On the other hand, I HAVE TO WAKE UP AND WRITE SOMETHING TO POST EVERY DAY! Yikes. I had a post in mind, but then as I sat down at the computer, complete darkness outside, this happened:

Stunning, huh? So then I decided to take photos of the sunrise for you instead of writing that other post.

Kim’s Airstream looked so cozy:

As more light came into the sky, the colors spread and became more subtle. I was standing in a rosy glow:

But then it seemed the show was over. The sunset I thought was going to be stunning enough to share with you simply hadn’t materialized, so I went back into the house to do chores:

However, as can sometimes happen, the sky had a surprise in store for me. The color was returning:

Truchas Peaks was beginning to show itself so I headed upstairs to take a picture from my deck and came upon the debris from my early morning coffee–too pretty not to photograph:

And then I stepped outside and took this pic of the mountain being lit from behind:

The light of the sun fully flooded the sky. Ah light, glorious light:

This called for more coffee and Trader Joe’s cinnamon bread:

As the house settled into itself, bathed in light and peace–I realized it was exactly the kind of morning I’d envisioned for myself all those years ago when I “left it all behind” (see previous post High Road Artist: My Story Begins):

The kind of morning I wish for all of us.

A very good, good morning and love to you all,

Jeane

      Thank you Laura. That’s nice to hear. I get so captivated by these simple beauties but sometimes worry it’s not enough to make up a post. It’s gratifying that the peace and sense of well being have come through to you. Thank you for letting me know.

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
