Peaceful Passing

Description


This sunset was unique in that it almost appeared to be mirrored both horizontally and vertically. Almost. And it was such a peaceful sunset. There was such a penetrating stillness. Such a reverent quietness. Such a feeling that went beyond human senses… just out of reach.

Quote of the Day: Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun. ~ Lakota Prayer
