Tonight I met with a friend at a local coffee shop and then went for a walk through the park and gardens. As we crossed over the river, the sun had already begun its descent. I love a prairie sunset. The sky does seem to fight the dark shadows that threaten to invade it. The magnificent and luminous colours take hold of the sky as they arm wrestle for those last bright moments before the stars can peek out.
As we walked through the flower gardens in the dimming light, we were met with a fragrance so marvelous that it stopped me in my tracks. I breathed deeply, knowing that I won’t have much time to enjoy beautiful moments like this in the next few weeks as the pace picks up. I have to carve out those moments in my fall schedule. I should remember to walk in the falling leaves and bid adieu to summer in these coming weeks.
Like the sun, I find myself rallying against the invasive silent shadows to the last.
Peace,
Suzanne
