Something about the Sunset

So as I'm standing on a rock on top of a hill clicking away with my wide angle lens, I'm trying to figure out the perfect exposure before my subjects arrive. The sudden silence made me stop and sit on the grass that surrounds me. Objects surrounding me start to turn black against the orange turquoise sky.
There's just something so peaceful and soft about the sun drifting away. The innocence of the whimsical painted colors the sun leaves behind even when it's long gone allows me to realize that life is passing by and that the day is slowly rolling into night . In that golden hour, a tiny moment in a day, is the most perfect time to adore the stillness and simple beauty around me that I often take for granted.
I then turn on my pandora to listen to some feel good island music as I soak in all I can ...while I can; of this surface of beauty. A perfect time for a prayer.
I feel so lucky to have this moment come into my life... Once in a day. Everyday!
The beauty of the sunset reminds me of a saying that goes something like this:
Whoever comes into your life are the right people. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. Whenever it happens is the right time... And when it's over, well.. It's over. Keep creating and living your big dreams... So long as there's a sun that sets for us.
Yay,the cute couple arrives... Back to my reality.
