• In Van Gogh's 'The Harvest' he depicts crops and farm land. If you have ever read 'the high yellow note' you will understand this very well. If not, well, bear with me. The high yellow note comes from the time of day it was when he'd paint. The sun was high up in the sky making the crops shine so brightly. Early in the morning around 4 am. .(summer time) there is the most beautiful shade of blue right before sunrise. It's light but it's dark, it feels low and smooth. It's so subtle and wondrous. It only lasts about 15 minutes though. For that short time it feels as though the whole world just stops. It's so great. I call it The Low Blue Note. I remember staying with Tany in the summer. She lives on a lake. Her side porch leads down to a sandy hill going to the water. There is a small deck back there. I remember staying up all night with her and some other friends and then just slipping outside for those 15 beautiful minutes, sitting on the steps of the deck and just staring up. Some days I'd set an alarm and sneak downstairs to watch it, her dad would be up some days. He'd have coffee made. It was odd, though I remember drinking coffee beside him during that time, I don't recall ever speaking to him. I remember just looking up in the sky and feeling so surrounded and comforted by the low blue note. Staring up at the endless sky, it was so calming. I'd finish my coffee and go back to sleep. Those were the most peaceful nights I'd have, after my fifteen minutes with the sky. If you are ever outside around 4 in the morning, just look up and see the black fade to navy, and turn into the low blue note. Maybe you won't enjoy like I do, but it really is beautiful.
