What are you doing later this afternoon? Around 4:30ish.
Would you like to watch the sunset?
Wherever you are, let’s look to the west and meet at the evening golden hour.
Let’s say shortly after 4 p.m. we’ll settle in and stay until shortly after 5.
We could be outside on a hilltop.
We could be warm in the house, looking up and out a westerly window.
We can watch the sky open low and gold, the way it does in late afternoon.
Then come the underlit pinks. Bolder and brighter as the sun settles.
Then that moment of splendor where your heart knows the blessing.
Then dusty purple.
We could stay until that dusty purple turns evening blue.
And then stars.
Stars!
Stars and moon.
How will we spend the golden hours of our days?
The golden hour of evening? Then the golden hour of morning?
