I love flying in the evenings. I witness the most beautiful sunsets. It really is one of those moments that take your breath away. One moment, you’re reading or watching TV, doing a crossword, playing a game or just listening to music, and the next, it’s quiet, peaceful, your eyes widen, trying to capture it all, almost like you’re taking mental photographs. You get trapped, savouring a moment that not many appreciate, or get to experience. You forget everything and everyone, staring so deep into the majestic wonders of nature. It’s not just blue skies anymore; it is slowly decorated with the beautifully rich colours of the retiring sun, clouds of various shapes and sizes, dance gracefully right before your eyes. The wide spectrum of colours, come alive right before you, and it's like you're watching TV but it's real and a lot more vivid than HD. You don’t even want to blink...you just wish you could reach out and touch it. You want to be a part of it. When the light fades, and the darkness becomes successor, I feel alone. Daily, I am blessed with the opportunity to walk through nature’s display of art. Occasionally, when I take time out from moving too fast, I stumble upon a masterpiece. Some things are better appreciated when there is someone to share it with. Not some random stranger on the plane, not a curious person who reads your blogs, but someone who evokes the same warmth...someone who sees you, as their sunset.
