Robert's Ramblings

I think it is extraordinary that one of the most common events in our lives, the evening sunset shared by every soul on this planet every single day, never ceases to take my breath away.

Last night when I headed down to the beach it was on a bit of a whim. The sky was heavily in cloud and the chances were that the sunset would have been hidden. Imagine my delight to find a sliver of clear sky just above the ocean's horizon. It reminded me that being lucky is not about being lucky at all, its about being there!

As I watched the sun emerge into the gap for it's end-of-day finale I watched the eyes of others around me light up with the delight of another beautiful sunset.
