Provoking the Dark

Read this last night or this morning (i'm not sure which it was at that point). I really like the language. And of course, watching (reading) a storm from one mountain to another at night cant be argued with. On the list of a hundred and one things to do before you die, I would put this in the top thirty. Well, I say that pretty unreflectively of any actual list. But if there were a list, top forty for SURE.

"That night they camped on a ledge of rock above the plains and watched the lightening all along the horizon provoke from the seamless dark the distant mountain ranges again and again."
-All the Pretty Horses

..."provoke from the seamless dark" ... how beautiful.


love and grace and hugs,
