There was much beauty in my part of the world this morning. The crunchy frost of the cold night was soon joined by the pink skies of a rising sun. As the world warmed up, the sky flirted with more colour. Oranges, blues, more pink, fluffy white clouds ... All reflected in the lake, ducks breaking up the smoothness of the water, ripples of fish swimming by. Beautiful. And then a heron chose to break the monotony of my walk from bus stop to work. Look at me! he seemed to squawk as he gracefully landed on the top of a very tall tree and surveyed his Kingdom. He remained perfectly still, perhaps in an effort to tease me. I've seen him do this before. I think he thinks it makes him invisible. I feel calm now. The storm has not yet descended into the office and there is peace and tranquility. I best prepare before the whirlwind who are my beloved colleagues and friends breeze into the room. Beauty does not last for ever.
