thoughts during sunset
..the following piece was taken from my 2001 office diary. dated November 3, Saturday; i vaguely remember sitting in our front porch looking out. then i wrote this....
the world is how we make it
ever catch that few minutes before night time actually sets in? the time when you can't actually see the sun anymore except for its yellow-orange like reflections on the clouds? you can still see the blue sky, not exactly as bright as earlier but enough to see the clouds that are forming opposite where the sun sets.
in these few remaining moments of light, you could hear the serene tunes of the night wind blowing. you could see the few remaining birds flying in silhouette. you can feel calmness.
as the night post light opens, you have come to realize something, something that these few minutes provided you with... the beauty and grandness of the world. the ongoing phenomena of light-dark-light. the wonder that amid the attached gloomness darkness may bring will also give you hope that light would still be there in the form of the post light, the early visible stars, or the mysterious moon when it finally shows its face.
we find comfort that amid all these, HE is there for us, showering us with beauty! these few minutes before darkness showed me something i would be treasuring forever. for it showed me beauty, hope, comfort, and the realization that the world is how we make it. i choose to make it WONDERFUL.
