a quiet moment
i have inadvertently created a new winter ritual: a pause to notice and enjoy the setting sun. it feels like an anchor of light, a reminder that the days really are growing longer and longer.
yesterday, or maybe the day before, i was outside as twilight tiptoed out and nightfall tiptoed in. as i followed the light from west to east, the color of the sky shifted from royal blue to deep indigo to midnight blue.
then, as i was going through photos of my beloved lake, i noticed these two images. they reminded me how the light (how everything) changes from moment to moment, even when the changes are subtle.
Twilight ritual… I like that. ;o) There are many times throughout the day that just lend themselves to ritual, observation and heart-touching. Happy Valentine’s Weekend ((LOVE & HUGS))
i have seemed to do that almost unwittingly in the early morning now. when the sun first comes up.
i open the blinds at night so in the morning the sun will wake me. i love that.
much like your lovely ritual at dusk.
just an added little beauty in life’s moments of awareness!
i think you need to make atlas’s facebook more prominent here on your blog!
i don’t know why and i can’t imagine this…
as much as i love him…
but i forgot to go to it! and new people might never find it!
oh elizabeth.
there’s another BOOK right there!
seriously.
a book of atlas. and the pictures.
and the captions of what he says… all right there. it would be a best seller.
i just know it.
and now i will visit it every day.
i think the reason i hated minnesota…
i didn’t have an atlas. xoxo
I’ll mention it one of these days to remind people! I will probably never update the design myself, I care too much about aesthetic and little things do indeed make a difference, but someday, I will be able to hire Allie again, and we will make some updates.
Tracy: There really are. Probably more than we realize, if we just sit down and think about it.
Tammy: Mmmmm. I love that. I leave my blinds open, more to let air in, but the windows face the west, so I cannot see the sun rise.
