chasing sunsets ...


For me, sunset is a favorite time of the day (unless it is overcast and not visible)... Just about everything looks great at sunset - bathed in soft and pastel colors, and foreground objects silhouetted by the low yellow, pink, and orange glow from the sun. It is a fitting end to even the most hectic and frustrating day, because it reminds us that there is always a beautiful peace for those who will "see" it. I somehow feel obliged (to myself) to drop whatever I am doing, even if only for a moment, and acknowledge the sunset. To do otherwise makes me feel as if I just "lost" something valuable - or like falling asleep without giving thanks within a prayer. Yes, there will be another day. But, it won't be the same day.
