'Red Sky At Morning'. Issue #5

"Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning".

Ancient mariners proverb

My grandfather, an avid sailor, taught me this proverb when I was so young that I never remember not knowing it. As so as this morning's sky lit up red and orange, his presence came to me as it always does when the sky is right. Not as a protective ghostly apparition but rather a whisper within my subconscious to know the signs, to look out, to keep myself safe. In his hands, a weather forecasting rhyme became a lesson for living and my grandfather, years gone from this world, a constancy in my life.
