Cut to our honeymoon and one of my favorite settings in the world--Ireland,the Emerald Isle.One day we were traveling from the city of Galway toward the Ring of Kerry.Late in the afternoon we discovered that a boat up ahead could ferry us across a tributary and save some four hours’ driving time.I made for the last launch,a mere ten minutes and eighteen kilometers away.With luck,and no livestock crossings,we would just make it.All of a sudden Bonnie called out,“Stop!” Dutifully,I pulled over.Bonnie pointed to the sky.It was the sunset.Not just any sunset.This clearly was a masterpiece.Getting out,we drank deep of a heavenly show of amber and golden hues,rose finger clouds painting the broad canvas of sky.The bridge would wait another day.The Ring of Kerry wasn’t going anywhere.Bonnie and I inhaled the magnificent sunset like ambrosia.
Sunsets,and sunrises for that matter,are gifts served up in plentiful procession.It’s one of life’s ways of taking a simple pause,marking the day.If we’re too busy,caught in the whirlwind of our own manufacturing,we miss the magic.What is required in order to drink the heady miracle of morning or evening light is a consciousness of how we use the time allotted to us each day.Pausing for a moment,we willingly open our spirits to the gifts of the universe.These are indeed the gifts that help make life this good.
