“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
“There is a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.”
—Jo Walton
Were it not for extending an invitation to Cecile to take our last walk of the day before the sun went down, we would have missed this burst of golden and greenish filtered rays that felt nothing less than a glimpse into the universe.
A sight like this affirms the primal connection of our human existence. It makes us realize our place in the solar system, something really needed these days when we are asked to shelter in place.
From poets and artists, scientists and ordinary humans like us, how can we not be mesmerized by the golden aura and charm of these precious natural occurrences. As I took these photos, I thought of Meister Eckhart, theologian, philosopher and mystic who once said: “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough." At the end of the day, we need a reminder that no matter what everything is going to be okay.
