Sunsets Orange Glow

sunsets orange glow
shared as shadows
coming home


On our last night in California, we stood on the cliffs as we had done most nights, and watched the sunset.  Each night a small crowd would gather on the cliffs to watch the sun slip over the edge as her joyful tears turned the horizon deep shades of orange and red.  As she dipped into the ocean spreading her colors across the waters, for just an instant she left painting reminiscent of Monet or Van Gogh.  Individuals on the cliffs meditated, some did yoga, others came with their families or dogs, but all came to share and celebrate the beauty of the sunset and the end of another day.  When was the last time you shared and celebrated the beauty of a sunset and the end of another day?  This weekend consider starting a new tradition in your practice of mindfulness.
