Motion

Today is my Birthday. I was walking our neighbor's dog, Dewey, early this morning around 6:45 and I could see from the window before we even started, the gorgeous purple sunrise. I was excited because I had my camera with me. Not even two minutes later I arrived at where this picture was taken. And in that two minutes the brilliant purples and blues that most people in Colorado are familiar with early in the morning were completely gone. I loved this simple metaphor for life that nothing is still. Everything is in motion, everything is moving, everything is changing. I looked up and saw the stop sign and knew this picture was even better than the fiery sunrise I had seen moments earlier, this was real and true and perfect. This symbolism rang even more true as I reflected through the day about Birthdays and how we too are constantly changing, and growing. There's no stopping a sunrise or a sunset, or even any moment in our lives. Everything is fluid and constantly in motion.
