Beauty at the end of the day.

Sometimes beauty can be so incredibly life giving. At the end of the day we drove to the beach to see the sunset, remembering only when we got there that we’re facing east and the sun sets in the west. Still, the sky was spectacular and the colours of the sky, the clouds, and the sea merged together painted a picture no artist can do justice. And then the moon appeared. As it was getting darker the moon shone brighter and it was stunning. We just sat there and watched it for the longest of times. It was almost as if the clouds were playing a game with the moon as they drifted past it to veil its light, only to allow it to appear again. The reflection of light in the sea and the colours were indescribable. I tried to take a few photos, but a simple Canon 8.0 megapixels isn’t exactly equipped to capture it... and I doubt any photo, even with the fanciest of cameras, would be able to match the beauty of seeing it live. It was surely a long moment of beauty at the end of

Some disjointed thoughts and moments that are part of my journey.

It’s late morning, but still feels quite early as we got back late last night. My laundry is done and is hanging in the soft warm breeze accompanied by sunshine. The perfect conditions for a quick dry. It’s Saturday and time for a break from the busy weekly routine. I already had my cup of strong coffee with milk and I am sitting here writing while the fan keeps me from starting to melt in the heat. The beach awaits later, but for now I thought I’d take time to jot down a few reflections and experiences from the past weeks. Sometimes it feels like I’m collecting moments. Funny moments, sad moments, moments I don’t understand, moments that require choices and decisions, moment that are, were and will not return Often it’s hard to capture the moments in words and yet I don’t want them to become as if they never were. I love the process of life, even if I sometimes wish there was more clarity of where I am headed to. Transition while in the midst of the now can be a challenge.
