A lovely sunset

I don’t usually post twice in one day since keeping up with once a day with all the places I’m scattered about on the internet is all I can manage.

However, tonight’s sunset was so lovely that I want to share it immediately and I’m in one of those immediate gratification moods.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

Water

Water is the formless potential out of which creation emerged.  It is the ocean of unconsciousness enveloping the islands of consciousness.  Water bathes us at birth and again at death, and in between it washes away sin.  It is by turns the elixir of life or the renewing rain or the devastating flood.   ~ Scott Russell Sanders, Writing from the Center
