gloriously wasteful.

"O, Lord, art thou gloriously wasteful." ~ George McDonald

a couple of weeks ago i was on a quick road trip to Buena Vista with my new friends, Ashley and Ashley. The valley that we drove through on the way to B V never ceases to amaze me. It's one of my favorite mountain ranges on earth, the collegiate peaks and the landscape never stops speaking to me. but when we were driving away from BV we saw the most incredible sunset. and i was just thinking that it seems so harsh that sunsets are so temporal, they last only for a bit and then they're gone. and what if there were people in their houses just at that time that weren't even watching. they didn't even know and it was happening right outside their windows and it would be gone by the time we could tell them. so fleeting. so beautiful. gloriously wasteful. my friend Ashley said some things weren't meant to last forever, we need to learn to let go. the only time the infinite meets the finite is in this present moment. it's so precious. like a sunset.
