The sun sets on another day…
It was a wonderful sunset filled with color and as I look to the sky I could be nothing but thankful for the moments I had and the moments that are to be.
I thought a lot about the dark as I scrambled around working at the edge of night. I expected the darkness to finally be what drove me away from finishing a few things but that wasn’t it, instead it was the mosquitoes who don’t really bite me but we’re incessantly more annoying as they tried to decide if I was going to be a tasty morsel or not.
After Dark I spent a lot of time looking around and thinking about night and darkness and how sometimes people wonder if it will be the longest night in the world or if the sun will ever come back.
I think that’s what’s funny to me, is it is dark at night. By the end of the night we are ready for a whole lot more. If we are up though the early morning hours of four and five are so dark you can barely see. But dawn still comes. The sun finds a way and sunrise envelops the world.
I think we sometimes need to think of life that way. Maybe when it’s at its darkest we should take a breath and realize that light will come back. Maybe we should realize more often that good times and good adventures are out there and if you’re willing, they may come to you as well. I hope you realize that tough times rarely last.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope the world is yours today and that you can find the way to make it even better. I hope that the light is shining upon you always but if it isn’t and darkness is fallen, just remember that the sunrise is coming, and light will be here again.
Sleep sweet, love life, no matter what…
