I woke up with Vajrayogini's mantra echoing in my head and my room glowing with a deep orange light despite the closed blinds. I got out of bed to see a beautiful autumn sunrise, both warm and cold at once.
Even in the few moments it took to open the blinds and take pictures, the sunrise shifted, giving way to an ordinary cloudy day. And while the photos are nice, they don't really capture the full expression of the sky or the light in that moment.
Ah, Dakini. In the moment you try to grasp at Her, She evaporates. And only you know the taste, unable to explain it in words.
The ineffable, inexpressible beauty of a sunrise!
It's similar i think to trying to take a photo of the moon! This great huge glowing globe of light (or illuminating swaths of glowing vibrant colour and light) that seems huge and filling the sky.... yet when captured through the camera lense, it appears reduced and almost dull, tiny and stark... not at all like the luminous clear image that our minds envision!
Rest in the expansive pervasiveness...Vibrant, radiant and luminous; unaltered by the 'image grasping' of technology!

Oh my....stunning photos and yet, and yet....the early morning experience is, I am sure, ineffable. Thank you for sharing.
