Do not go gentle...

Hard against a smudged sky

Dylan Thomas got it right:

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

I shot this image as the wind-smudged April sky faded into darkness, the naked tree in the foreground standing patiently, waiting for the first signs of its springtime rebirth.

It struck me as a reasonable analog of the circle of life.

Because everything has its own cycle, even if those cycles never quite line up the way we’d like.
