twilight
Twilight: a time of pause when nature changes her guard. All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.- Howard Thurman (American theologian, clergyman and activist)
and it creeps slowly everyday, this twilight that we don't seem to notice until it paints the sky a golden red, almost like an orange flame, so that we may pause, look up and be mesmerized...and be grateful that we have such a mighty God ending a day and yet, promising another...

it was quite accidental my discovery of this display of heavenly art. i was getting dinner ready when i looked out from the kitchen window, and noticed this flame-like hue...it was spell-binding like the way the thick fog or the soft moonlight makes everything magical...and i felt like i was in a trance.
aren't we blessed those of us who take the time to gaze at the setting sun or sit outside in the twilight? because we know that we are a part of this heavenly canvass that God paints on.
and i thank you Lord for this opportunity to witness another yet of your gentle miracles...for this chance to reflect on what the day has meant to me, and this promise of a new day...slowly unfolding before me.
