Lemon coloured light

12 Aug 2013 1 150
One Evening On a frozen pond a mile north of Liberal almost sixty years ago I skated wild circles while a strange pale sun went down. A scattering of dry brown reeds cluttered the ice at one end of the pond, and a fitful breeze ghosted little surface eddies of snow. No house was in sight, no tree, only the arched wide surface of the earth holding the pond and me under the sky. I would go home, confront all my years, the tangled events to come, and never know more than I did that evening waving my arms in the lemon-colored light. -- William Stafford
