The man photographing the cathedral at dawn from a rooftop with his dogs!

 Couldn’t sleep from jet lag, so was awake at dawn today. Saw a man on a roof, across the way, intently and intensely taking photos of a cathedral across the street. Then I noticed his dogs were with him on the flat roof. My kind of morning activity, so…

 To the man taking photos with his dogs on a rooftop today—thanks for being who you are today, for observing when no one else was, from a high place, and for getting up before dawn in the in between just to capture today’s particular approaching glory.

 You’re my this morning’s hero. And me and my angels saw you! I even tried to take a photo of you taking a photo, as I often do in my dreams. Thanks sir.

  We live by example, even when we think we are unobserved while observing, or should I say, appreciating the particular glories of daily life, and hoping them into place with our expectancy and love’s vigilant gaze. If none of the photos turn out, I’ll make a painting of it to remember you, and that type of rooftop faith each day requires.
