Mists

We diverted our run to go through the commons, drawn by the pre-dawn mists hanging over the grass. It was 41 F and I could smell the earth, made wet by days of light rains. The fog glowed, reflecting the blue light in the eastern sky. The experience brought back vague childhood memories of living in the Florida Panhandle near the woods when I five. At that age, I often thought that the woodland fog was the manifestation of the spirits of the Native Americans who had lived there long ago. Now, after college chemistry and engineering thermodynamic, I know better. Yet the thought returns.
