by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

storm dreams
i woke this morning from dreams of boarding up my in-law's house in new smyrna beach as they're getting hit by hurricane matthew right now. greg had been keeping me posted before i fell asleep and i've been keeping his family and our friends that we have there in my thoughts and prayers. the bahamas were hit hard, but haiti even worse. there's a miami herald article here and here. cnn has good storm updates here.
