day 346

sunsets

another sunset
paints the sky in amber hues
no two are alike
so remember this moment
before night swallows the dusk

I never tire of this view, but it occurred to me that tonight’s sunset will only exist for several minutes before it is gone…the sun having dipped below the horizon and the clouds floating by only to fade into the night sky. Tonight’s sunset was a one time event, never to be seen again ( if not for the photo that I captured at just the moment the sky turned golden).

How many moments slip through our fingers everyday without us ever noticing. This thing or that might be the last time you ever experience it, but we never know, do we? I mention this not to suggest that you or anyone or myself should live their life moment to moment with intensity. That’s just exhausting! But I do encourage each of us to pause to savor the moments that capture our attention. Those moments are random. They are miraculous snapshots of the best life has to offer us in the moment. Even grief and sorrow have their place in this quest to be wrapped in the moment. A lifetime of moments is no small thing. You may not remember them all, but if you stop to take them in you will have memories to sustain you, to remind you of where you came from and who you are.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you!
