Let's face it: no one cares if you watch the sunset or not. It's not an accomplishment to put on a resume, nor is it something to check off a list. That is the point. The value of watching a sunset stems from being present during the process. And every step of the way is lovely. Everything in life is the same. We often want to skip over the parts that are slow, painful, or lonely, and then freeze at a single moment of accomplishment. Or, ideally, complete joy. However, life goes on. And that's fine. It's not the same as watching the entire process. I discovered that there is no such thing as a single moment. The evening sky is a constantly changing tapestry. The beauty is created by the interplay of light and dark, of clear sky and clouds. So it is in our daily lives. Joy unfolds in a kaleidoscope of light and darkness, and every step of the journey is breathtaking.
