Horizons

I keep waiting to find a big, wide horizon in front of me.

Creation’s crease. What’s above is possibility and what’s below is certainty.

I have a reminder on one of my shelves by the philosopher, Atticus, it goes- “Never go long without seeing a sunset.”

I can’t seem to get in front of one.

I even ride my bicycle just at dusk to the neighborhood that has proved a sunset is real. Even then I miss that moment when the pink, blue and yellow melts into darkness.

It might be where I now live. The house isn’t on a hill and doesn’t face anything but porches at the backend of twin homes.

The only sky I see is above me.

It must have something to offer me.

About karentreat

I started this blog in my middle years of life. Now, I am closer to the later years of life. I am married, was a registered nurse, now a ELCA ordained pastor, and a trained spiritual director. I have three married children and a son living with us as he attends graduate school. I published my first book "And Then There Was Me- Meditations from the Empty Nest" in September 2025. It is a gift to myself and others in times of transition. I continue to write...knowing there is no finish line and enjoying the many mile markers along the way.
