a vast and mysterious universe

yesterday evening, as the sun was about to set, this beautiful soft light poured from the sky and spilled onto the snow. it was like looking at the world through a lens filter, or through rose-colored glasses, literally. the top of the sky was a gorgeous, warm pink which bled gently into a cooler yellow, only to be transformed into the purest blue. this splash of color was reflected faithfully by the snow and created a unified, magical landscape.

we live in such a vast universe, full of mystery and miracles. it’s easy to get caught up in too many thoughts, to live too much in our heads, and so it’s comforting to know that there is such a prodigious world outside of us, connected to us, yet also gloriously ancient and infinite.
