No Dress Rehearsal

Truth be told, it can be scary out in the dark all alone on an empty beach.  There are noises, movements, threats real and imaginary.  Yet there is also wonder and awe and a strange peace that floods my soul as I ponder the immense universe, feet planted in the soft sand.  To miss that experience due to fear is unthinkable.   So I go.  I capture it.  I share it with the world, with those who may not have the opportunity to see.  And I embrace a lyric from one of my favorite bands, the Tragically Hip - there is “no dress rehearsal; this is our life”.
