~:[CH14 - Day 248]:~ Connecting Sunsets

Have you ever wondered if there was a greater purpose to things in life? As I stook on the hillside, I looked ahead and saw the sun setting. It has been a long exhausting week, but it also has been one where I felt good by week's end. There were some challenging moments for myself and those around me, which made me wonder if this beautiful moments was a chance to recharge and heat from the exhausting week. Is it a chance to connect with someone who is far away looking at the similar sky? Is it a way to connect with those who no longer walk on this earth, but watch over us from above? Is it a way for us to learn to appreciate the beauty of nature? There could be a lot of explanations for something so beautiful, at the same time, I wonder if we could just enjoy this beautiful site simply as something beautiful. I was exhausted after a long day that was filled with ups and downs, but as I stared off into the distance, I felt a bit of calm to soothe my troubles away, as I wondered, who else is looking at this very sunset and at this very sky. As I basked in the beauty of the sunset, I thought of those who may be looking at it too. I left a little early from our evening practice to enjoy a little celebration with my family, but I kept thinking back to this beautiful moment which will replay in my mind. I may never find what the meaning behind the beauty of nature is, but I can still appreciate it as I soak it all in wondering who else is looking up at this very sky that connects us. Have a wonderful weekend as the sun sets on another week.
