And it is beautiful
My mother taught me this. I'm sure you've heard it.
Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.
Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
So tonight's sky would delight the sailors. I do not know any. And I cannot know why we who are not sailors keep the saying in our store of knowledge. It may be taking up space that could well be used otherwise. Who knows?
But as soon as I saw tonight's red sky I thought of it, said it aloud to be sure I remembered it correctly. Oh yes, I want to get it right.
Is it human nature? Or just my nature?
