“What does the fog want to show us?”
Fog is coy. He reveals what he wants to reveal. Yes, as you walk about, he may show a barnacle encrusted rock with soft waves nuzzling; that moment of sunrise sky shot with rose; the farm house garden with lilacs over a split-rail fence – these he reveals to tease…
Did you know though, Fog humbly yearns to reveal a true glimpse of his sensitive, penetrating self. If you could but sense the tenderness with which he veils and protects; or dance with his swirls about you as you pass by the cedars; then experience the burst of elation with which he liberates all to the sun – then you would approach an understanding of Fog’s game, that ‘je ne sais quoi’* which makes him so personal…
