Sometimes;
when the clouds move way to reveal the setting sun just above the horizon,
and the yellows and the oranges and the reds mix together in a brilliant jumble of colours...

Sometimes;
when the wind stops blowing the trees and the waves are no longer crashing down upon the ocean,
and the stillness of the world forms a brief tranquility like the calm before the storm...

Sometimes;
when the fireflies illuminate the pitch-black of a hot summer night,
and the silhouette of a silver moon can be seen in the distance...

Sometimes;
when a good book can transport you to an unknown world,
and an inspiring movie can bring tears to your eyes...

Sometimes;
when the beauty of a person is shown through the loveliness of their soul,
and the pure perfection in their imperfections...

Sometimes;
when a good day finally appears after a series of bad days,
and that ray of light breaks through the cloud of darkness...

Sometimes;
when you pause for a moment to notice the little things we so often take for granted,
and the simple pleasures of our day-to-day lives...

You will realize;
this world that we live in is beautiful,
and wondrous and extraordinary *and terribly finite.
