First was an instrumental: Mist-Covered Mountain. Then a song called Foggy Dew. I think the KOOP DJ was a little wistful. It’s 102 degrees out with only 2 white micro-clouds in sight. A dry bright brutal day.

Mist waters a mountain I would think. Makes it possible for the columbines and pasque flowers to thrive. Berries for the birds and bears. Mist would offer something to the thin high-altitude air.

Mist and Mystery with the same roots. Though the mountain is cloaked, we know it is there. Perhaps more powerful for being invisible.

How empty life would be without its mysteries.
