Sunset Salutations
the sun dips quietly in the sky
marking the close to another day
my heart fills with gratitude
for the beauty of this glorious moment
as the sun dips down
colors stretch across my heart
I melt into peace

Lately, I’ve been watching the sunset as a routine or salutation to wind down the day. It’s a joy having such a beautiful view from Steven’s property. I find peace in taking a few minutes to slow down, savor and appreciate the beauty of life. I especially enjoy watching sunsets, and these beautiful ones looking over the water help me to settle into the present moment, feeling at peace.
May your days be filled with beauty and peace, Brad
Gorgeous view! I have a pretty awesome view at my place and every once in awhile, I catch myself being in awe of nature’s breathtaking sunsets. It really does slows down life and makes you appreciate the moment fully. Thanks for sharing!

There’s nothing quite as inspiring as a colorful sunset, the changing hues being a dynamic work of art choreographed by Mother Nature. You have captured its beauty perfectly, Brad – in images and in words. Well done, and thank you!
