Even when the sun broke above the horizon...the light was never harsh, never superheated or smelling of tar roads & dust as it was in other neighborhoods. Instead it filtered through Spanish moss and bamboo and philodendron that dripped with beads of moisture as big as marbles, so that even in the midst of summer the morning came to those who lived here with a blue softness that daily told them the earth was a grand place, its design vouchsafed in heaven and not to be questioned. ~~James Lee Burke, in Jolie Blons Bounce. Now THAT is how a Southerner does writing!!
