Sometimes looking at a sunset as beautiful as this can make me sad. Strange, right? It may be because I am dreading the next day and what it will bring or it may be because the present day is so perfect I don’t want to let it go. Those perfect days are wrapped in the warmth of the summer sun with cool evening breezes that glide across the water and evaporate the dewy moisture on your sun-kissed skin. They make you wish they would last forever, suspended in time.
But, if I can’t learn to let go of the sunset, I won’t get to see the sunrise. Even if I am dreading the following day, there will still be a sunrise and a sunset. And, they will still be amazing miracles in and of themselves, something to be marveled and appreciated. A reason to be.
Today’s Mantra:
Today I will try to remember to enjoy the moment for what it is – beautiful – and that letting go of it also carries the promise of a new day, a new sunrise and a new sunset … and new miracles.
