I fear the denouement –the moment of reckoningwhen the winding pathunravels; when intentions,transient at best, revealthemselves as common liesand soul crumples before lightrecognizing this is not the end. (Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @ Vjknutson. Image my own.)

Contrails are like a love/hate relationship. They prompt a sort of wonder, but at the same time shame for the carbon footprint.

I used to quite like seeing contrails, because I think planes are cool, but when they started up again here after almost a year of clear skies I really didn’t like them anymore. They seem like graffiti on a grand scale. 🙂
