Sunset

Last night while out for a run the sun finally broke free of the dense blanket of clouds, casting a few moments of fiery golden goodness on the city before it slipped quietly below the horizon.

To me, that's when nature's free nightly light show really starts to get good - when the leftover hues - the pinks, yellows, oranges and purples - grow richer and climber higher into the evening sky, leaving a lasting impression long after the sun has bid its goodbye.

Which got me to thinking. It often isn't till we've said our goodbyes that the true impact and value of the connection or experience is felt and understood.
