Calm before the storm...driving home from a weekend away, we saw the line across the sky, almost black one side, blue the other.  We set the mileage gauge to see how long it would take to drive out of it.  We couldn't: it was on us and the wipers were struggling.  All the while, the line stayed ahead of us, a quiet space we cannot reach.

The clear sanctity just before a storm, when the last sunshine gilds the battleship grey background.  It’s worth the coming storm to have this crystal vision.
