Here's what I was doing tonight...

...What were you doing?

Do not, please, imagine for one mement that watching a sunset is a waste of time or a sign of laziness. Some folks do yoga, or meditate or pray. Me, I like to get right into the magic, and on a night like this, I have the best seat in the house. You can never tell with sunsets. This one began as a ho-hum mackerel sort of sky, with intriguing wisps at the fringes. But I have learned that, like some recalcitrant children, or casual friendships, things can change unexpectedly. Usually, it happens slowly and, liked the watched pot, it seems that nothing momentous will happen. But look to your book for a few minutes, or pour a little glass of wine, and then return to the scene. The lesson here is twofold - never be too sure of what is to come (corrolary: be prepared to be amazed), and never be in a hurry to rush things along.

Stop by some time!
