Sometimes
When the light is just right
And the shadows weave a tapestry with the sun —
If you take the time to look closely and marvel
Even the humblest sight – like a cloud of midges –
Can become a magnificent and beautiful cloud of gold dust
Reminding us that we all have hidden depths and beauty within.
A cloud of midges glowing in the sunset

Thank you for this post! Looking for joy and beauty in small things — that’s why we have fun on roadtrips — even the endless miles (as some describe them) between here and there bring things we enjoy, I wish I could describe this as beautifully as you do.
I am catching up tonight; it isn’t always easy to get a good connection while we’re on the road. I loved the Viking tour above; wonderful field trip. You know it’s a great one when the kids don’t want to go home!
