I was enjoying a good piece of fiction this morning, set in a long ago era. Circa early 1940s I believe. This young couple was out on their first date, on their way home from the dance. They stop, get out of the car, and just stand at this old broken down wooden fence and look up and out and all around. I know this because the author took the time to go into great detail. Describing the moonlight and how it reflects on the grass of the field, the leaves on the trees and yet leaving mysterious shadows as well - and stars upon stars! The only sounds the whispering wind, an awakened little bird, and the scents of the flourishing earth.
I, too, was outside last night, walking to the car after the ballgame. I, too, looked up - and gave the moon a ten second glance. And missed so much more that there was to see ...
May we be as the writer, fully immersing ourselves in the moment with every one of our senses, and be drawn in to the beauty before us. Take the time and consider the works of His hands.
The late summer pink and coral sunsets have been awesome especially with the reflection on the water. . . . .
ReplyDeletethen there is a pause, and the bright moon sends shadows and rays of light over the night. Breathtaking for 10 seconds or much longer! Thanks for sharing
