Sunset

Today on my drive back into the city from seeing a few clients there was the most beautiful sunset I've seen in a while. I was completely taken off-guard. Sure, it was time for sunset. That wasn't the surprise. No, my mind was elsewhere but this display wouldn't let my thought process continue. It stopped my mind in its tracks. Such rich hues and a reminder of how complex this world truly is.

I saw it as a metaphor. Today was a sunset in my family's life. I'm not really sure what it means for us yet- only dawn will tell- but I know that things are changing. It may be one of those nights when it seems like morning is forever coming, though I hope not. I don't know. What I do know is that today went better than I ever thought possible and I'm convinced that it was through the power of prayer. Maybe I don't give my family enough credit. No matter. What matters is that we made it through.
