Ethereal Queen

Mississippi Sunrise

I got a call at dawn from my son, a college student, who is on spring break. He was sitting on the Mississippi shore where the hurricane had devastated so much. The sun was rising over ship skeletons, shattered peers, and destroyed coastline. In the midst of that destruction, the beauty of the jagged rocks, the distant islands, and the coastal waters radiated the soft warm glow of the rising sun. He called just to share that moment with me. The sound of morning wind whipped across his phone and I could feel the breeze and see the sunrise through his words. Some days, life is beautiful, even in the midst of destruction.
