The sky was a patch of pure crisp whit
e against a bright, piercing blue. Hypnotic, the timeless arrival of the waves, rising from the blue-green sea and disappearing against the shimmering white expanse of the shoreline in a stream of foam and a gradual, fading, 'whoosh'.
Away from the crowd where few bother to look anymore at a miracle that happens everyday.
Listen. Watch. Breathe.
2 people sat in awe at the unfolding miracle. Twilight entered shyly, marked by the slight red tinge along the edges of pure white. The blue lost its' piercing b
rightness, darkening into a faint lavender. The blush spread,the edges lost its crispness. The colours swirled. Red darkened to orange. Lavender, to a deep rich purple. Still the swirling continued. The colours were shimmering now, but they stayed only for a moment. For the swirling was incessant, and by the time the camera has been set, it would have changed. So, put away the camera.
Listen. Watch. Breathe.
Enjoy the change.
As the swirling continues, purple is shadowed into indigo and one last swirl sweeps the whole sky into a blanket of black.
But the darkness does not last long, as the swirling made its presence known even in the absorbing black vacuum. Bit by bit, light dotted the black sky, its twinkling diffusing through the night.
As I sat there breathing in the deliciously cool, salty air, I realised the secret of miracles.
Listen, Watch and Breathe. EXPERIENCE it yourself.
For a picture can capture a sunset, but it cannot capture the beauty of a sunset.
And a paragraph can describe an experience, but it cannot describe the miracle of that experience.
