The Sun and the moon

Have you ever looked out the world and been amazed? Amazed by what is out there, amazed by what amazes you and doesn't cease to inspire you or make you think: "it's so beautiful to be alive..."

Out there, on the horizon, across a vast field of ice and snow, was the setting sun. Golden rays of light radiating from the centre, turning trees in the distance into dark silhouettes and little insignificant figurines against a backdrop of grandeur and silent tranquility.

And there, right next to the sun was an almost full moon, looking like a another sun, another bright round sphere on the horizon. It was not the glare or a reflection of the sun, I made sure of that by squinting my eyes and blocking out the real sun. It really was the moon, even though the camera is not sensitive enough to capture it fully.

It was the sun and moon together, one rising, another falling. One disappearing, another about to appear. What wonder there is in the world, what beauty, how much there is to adore and to cherish...

Life is beautiful. Life can be beautiful, if only one will open one's eyes and see it all...
