✨ Reflections from Nature

The day’s heat fades and the sky burns with color. People gather on steps, rooftops, or beaches to watch in silence. Sunsets remind us that endings can be just as beautiful as beginnings.

β€œNot until just before dawn do people sleep best; not until people get old do they become wise. – Chinese Proverb”

β€œLife is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. – Helen Keller”
