Sunsets
sunset
Day is done
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in flight.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Purple sky
The vaulted void of purple sky
That everywhere extends,
That stretches from the dazzled eye,
In space that never ends;
A morning whose uprisen sun
No setting e’er shall see;
A day that comes without a noon
Such is eternity.
~John Clare
Growing strong
There’s something comforting about looking out across the field and seeing the strong, towering arms of the oak trees stretching heavenward. Their strength and beauty often serve as a source of wonder and inspiration for me.
“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.” ~Peter Marshall
Radiance
“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” ~Victor Hugo
A new view every day
I never grow tired of walking down our country road. The ever changing sky seldom disappoints with new and beautiful scenes to gaze at in wonderment.
“Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who is perfect in knowledge? [Job 37:16]
Fading colors
“Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.” ~Mother Teresa
Sunset
“The sunrise is God’s greeting – the sunset, his signature.” ~Unknown
Little bits of gold
“Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.” ~Democritus
Peeking out from behind the clouds
“Laughter is a sunbeam of the soul.” ~Thomas Mann
