An Ode to the Evening Sun

klk

This is one of my favorite times of day. The sun is going down off to the side of my kitchen window, and as Emily Dickinson would say, “there’s a certain slant of light.”

The light is golden and dancing on the windowsill. I want to call it something else. Golden is so played out, but the light is golden.

I hope this video doesn’t stay sideways.

Normally the succulents and cacti are all lined up here, but today was a cleaning day.

Sometimes I catch myself standing at that window for long periods of time just staring at the moving shadows and light and the way they interact.

On Monday, the Sun and Moon are going to put on a show. They’ve been waiting a long time for this part of the play. Let’s give them the audience they deserve.
