#SmallStone: Day Eight

Small Stone: Sunrise

Every sunrise is its own, unique moment. No two have ever been the same. This sky, the one from this morning’s walk, has never happened before and will never be seen again. This particular combination of cloud and color is only now. In the very next minute, it will shift and change, become another sky, a different view. I stop, ask the boys to wait, and look up in amazement, filled with gratitude that this could happen, that I am here to see it.

Small Stone: Sunset

I’m finishing up some work on my computer when you call to me from the other room, “Look at the sunset!” I go outside on the patio and look up at the changing color of the sky. I notice my breath, shiver in the cold, feel the solid ground under my feet and whisper, “Good night, beautiful day.”
