This photograph was taken on my way to work.
Can you see the sun?
It is hiding behind the tree.
In the distance peering at us
Hoping to give us some light
Reminding us of what we have
An extraordinary inheritance
An enchanting delivery
I was able to capture
This inheritance
That stands out
Let’s appreciate
The present
And revere it.
Nature gives us so much beauty. I never ever saw it that way as a child, but now that I am older I appreciate what is around me.
Beautiful visually and poetically. Thanks for sharing!

What an incredible photograph to write from. We have to look closely and pay attention to see the sun. The metaphor of “inheritance” is so powerful here. Like you, I barely paid attention to the beauty of nature when I was a child, but the older I get, the more important it is to me.
Yes. A reminder to look at the sky. To take in the beauty we see. To pay attention as we look about.
I also love the idea that we need to appreciate “the present” – both the gifts that are bestowed upon us AND the time that we have, right here, right now.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
