From the same spot on the roof, the sunset sky is different everyday. The deepening colors, the cloud formations, the distant lights---they are constantly changing. Couldn't help but compare it to everyday life. Physical, material things and experiences are ever-changing. If you're in a bad situation, it'll change. If you're in a good situation, it'll change. And it came to pass...so we may learn something, so we may grow, so we could be aware of where our path is headed, so we could celebrate those seemingly inconsequential events that lift us up, so we could enjoy the time we have.
These were taken on Saturday, October 30th, my birthday. A couple of my friends came over and we enjoyed this fleeting beauty over beer and wine and jovial conversation.
