This scene will never exist in this exact way again. We enjoyed it for one brief moment, with sunlight falling on young maple leaves just so, with neighboring trees basking in the shade.

It can be a little unnerving thinking about the fact that this one, individual moment, is all we have available to us, and when the moment’s gone, it’s gone forever. Makes us ponder how we might be wasting them with thoughtless speech or action.

Today’s Tranquil Tuesday is dedicated to our cousin Elizabeth, who passed away recently. For each human being she encountered, she was their Bright Spot in My Day.
