It’s close to dusk by the time the rain finally stops and we can head out for a good walk, the kind that gets us far from home, and is long enough to tire our endlessly bouncy pup. The skies remain relentlessly grey, so I have no intention of bringing a camera along.
As we head home, our daughter calls on FaceTime, so I point the camera at our schnu and we wander the streets, catching up on the minutiae of the day.
Right around sunset time, I catch a flash of orange reflecting off the screen, and turn around to see a delightful orange glow on the horizon. We’re not far from my usual observation spot in the park, so we run across the grass, Calli the Wonderschnauzer happily leading the way.
I’m reasonably sure Dahlia is getting sick from the bouncing-dog video, but she’s laughing, so I figure we’re all good. I get to the viewing spot and grab a few quick snaps before the glow recedes just as quickly as it appeared.
It occurs to me I would have missed it had we not been chatting. If the dog hadn’t given us an excuse to get out in the first place. If we hadn’t been looking to the sky as we always do.
Life is like that, I guess, filled with spontaneous moments of wonder that, if we play our cards right, we get to share with those who matter most. We can’t predict them, but we can hold onto them tightly whenever they choose to grace us with their presence.
