Postcards from the Forest - once upon a sunset
Often, the most spectacular sunsets come before and after a storm, and the sunset of April 10 was one of those.
We don't always get to see the sunset from the forest. It happens far away and beyond our horizon. But every now and then, the air is fresh, the clouds are high in the sky, and they are real...made from water vapor.
When the sky is full of aerosols we tend to have hot pink and neon orange sunsets made of stripes, which last for a very long time...sometimes well beyond sunset. We may never know a perfectly clear sky again, but the sky of April 10 was fairly close. In that clarity is revealed a sunset's true nature. Intense pink and orange may be present, but so will blue, yellow, lavender, red, dark purple, apricot, and every shade of grey from white-white to nearly solid black. And movement. Natural clouds move, break apart, reform, swell quickly, dissipate, reform. They are dynamic, fluid, alive.
A fitting sky for a weekend of high holiness.
