Do you ever have those moments where the world is so perfectly beautiful, and everything feels as it should? Where you feel connected to everyone and everything around you, as you harmonize to the song of life. Where for just one fleeting moment, everything is perfect. There is no pain, no sadness. No overwhelming grief.
This morning, I caught a glimpse of the sun as it rose. It was already daybreak, but the sky was still recovering from the beauty of dawn. Pink clouds stretched across the sky, shaded with a deep magenta. The sun added hues of yellow-such a perfect warmth. It quite literally took my breath away. I stood at the foot of my driveway, with two dogs, and gazed at the magnificent beauty of our Earth.
Then, as quickly as that moment came...it was gone. My dogs continued their mad dash for the grass.
In times of suffering, I have always turned to our natural world to heal. When I saw the sky this morning, I felt an incredible reassurance. It told me that despite the evils that exist, there will always be moments of perfect joy. There will always be moments of breathtaking beauty.
No sunrise can change the pain we all feel this week. But perhaps, the very fact that the sun did rise can offer some comfort. For even when we feel as though time has stopped, it plows forward. The sun continues to rise, and as it does, it dazzles us with its beauty. It reminds us that we are alive.
