06.15am

Yesterday I was at the bottom of a black hole, yet this morning, I was awake at 04.00 and out at 06.00am to be greeted by all this beauty. Something like one's own dog. Even if you ignore it for hours on end, the moment you glance at it, you find it is staring into your eyes, waiting for your attention.
Yet again I find myself realizing how stupid I am not to take  advantage of every opportunity, every day to enjoy what is.
I encountered a middle aged man with a paunch, staring out to sea, admiring the view, I supposed. I would have said hello, as we do when out for an early morning walk and so few people about but he was facing the sea and didn’t see me.
 Then I wondered why he was wearing a short sleeved t shirt when it was really quite chilly. I  thought he must be a foreign tourist but the writing on his shirt gave no clue.
Back at home, after about an hour, a yellow rescue helicopter flew noisily over our home, landing on the field across the road. A person was collected from the beach below and loaded into the helicoper, still conscious and on a flexible stretcher, so it wasn't a trauma accident. 
I wasn't able to see who it was or what had happened....
