Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their ownfreshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
– John Muir


It is said that the best times to photograph landscape is during the “golden hour”, that magical time near dawn or dusk when the sun’s light adds a special magical light to all. The bright sunlight that we experience later in the day can appear a bit harsher, and the results through the camera’s eye, not quite so pleasing.
Nonetheless, there are times when the only time we have available to us to take a picture is the time we are given.
How like life!
We might think we could live a more full life . . . we could live more compassionately . . . we could be more fulfilled . . . if only . . .
If only the time was right . . .
If only we were more prepared . . .
If only we felt better . . .
If only we had the right degree, right position, right mate . . .
How many are waiting for the “golden hour” instead of seizing this moment now to live the life God called us to?
Now is the Golden Hour.
