Watching the sunset on one side of the sky while seeing the moonrise on the other is somewhat magical. The air was freakishly warm for a January evening. Having no tripod, I knew my shots were limited and for once I cared little about what my camera captured. I found myself sitting on the grass enjoying the slow rise and fall going on around me. Like a tennis match, my head world turn from sun to moon wondering who would win the point. It seemed like the sun and the moon acted as weights on earth’s great balancing scale. Somehow I felt like I was directly in the middle of it, holding the moon in one hand and the sun in the other. I would leave feeling well balanced and at ease as the day transitioned to night. Although we play such a minute roll in this world, sometimes it’s good to feel your worth in the most simple of ways. While holding up the sun and the moon can feel heavy on your arms, it’s pales in comparison to going home and figuring out what to make for dinner. Life is a great balancing act, and luckily, I got through another day without toppling over.
