I gazed forward and watch the setting sun sinking in its own distance to teach the daylight what it forgets. In those final moments, where the rays still peer beyond the horizon, there is a quiet yet certain power. In its presence lie our restless thoughts; and as the sun descends, they lose their urgency. In an almost sweet surrender, sorrow loosens its hold, and the spirit discovers a deeper peace. I guess in careful reflection, One finds that beauty is not always found in glow and brightness. At times it arrives with the gathering shadows and the fading view of the sun, inviting the heart into contemplation. There are moments of beauty so still that they silence the chaos and turmoil within us. In such a presence, time, sorrow, and restless thought briefly release their claim upon the heart, allowing a kind of peace that can be found only in the view of the heavens.
