It was November of 1967, and my exhilaration was as bright and intense as the colors that dappled the room.

dappled in leafy light

the morning sun glints through the blinds, throwing dappled orange light across her skin

In the distance, fleeting cloud shadows dappled the dull green of slopes above timber line, and the gray and white of Longs Peak

fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man’s mind had been born

leave them in a dapple of ambiguity rather than drag them out into any prematurely decisive light of judgment
