Peregrination #5

Around the time I crossed I-40 on my way out of Chapel Hill, the clouds seemed to drop out of the gray predawn sky and become a see-your-headlights fog. But a few minutes later, just after I took the exit from 15-501 to the Durham Freeway, I came over a very slight hill, and the sun lit the mist with a circumambient incandescence, like everything was just rising on up into heaven.
