You’ll be driving along depressed when suddenly
a cloud will move and the sun will muscle through
and ignite the hills. It may not last. Probably
won’t last. But for a moment the whole world
comes to. Wakes up. Proves it lives. It lives—…
Your eyes are on fire.
It won’t last…
but you’ll
remember that it felt like nothing else you’ve felt…
~ Lloyd Schwartz, from “Leaves” in Goodnight, Gracie

life is full with these beautiful surprises
It is…
Yes! 🌅🌅🌅

woooooh, I love this! Can sort of relate to it too. Am once more overwhelmed by the power of words.
Have a good Sunday; mine is over in a few moments – time for my beauty sleep!
Me too! Good night Kiki!
