Blue Sicily

The morning haze lifts off the clear, blue waters of Sicily and moves on revealing an azure sky reflected in the water. Levels of blue from light to dark display life forms not seen on land, with actors performing in a theater under water. The religious sisters emerge from the convent out on a shopping day, laughing, whispering as their blue habits wrap 'round them, Mary's color moves down the street. Etna spewed last night sending out fiery orange lava, but today the peace of blue sky and white clouds settles back to a pattern that is Sicily.
