Three days ago I found our burro fell flat on the ground after the sudden rain. I straightened it up as soon as the rain stopped, but I kept wondering how that happened. The burro is quite heavy after all.
Our previous neighbors gifted this burro to us when they decided to move. It’s been with us for more than a year now. We truly enjoy its company. All the memories and history seem to be in this burro’s eyes, and sometimes they bring sadness into my mind..
Sometimes all it takes is observing sunset in complete silence to soothe my mind, to realize that at the end nothing else really matters..
It wasn’t there 10 minutes ago when I opened the door to our porch to let the cool air in. Then the warm glowing light of sunset caught my attention. I went out, stunned by the transformation. This is one of the many reasons why I love this Land of Enchantment.
Spending time leisurely in Brisbane and now Sydney has somewhat disoriented me. The amount of Asian population, to me anyway, is surprisingly high. That’s one thing I did not anticipate before I arrived in Australia. Casually walking on the street, the languages I heard and recognized include English, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. The faces that I came across were also giving me the illusion that I was somewhere in Asia. What a world we live in!
We received some rain this afternoon, which was helpful but far from enough. However the colors of the sky were serenely beautiful..
We all let our emotions get in the way sometimes. And I often forget some facts of our lives; I’d admit that. With a heavy heart he started to mention his limitations more often these days. I didn’t always know how to respond properly. If I’d agree with him, would that imply that I think he’s now a burden?
Do I wish sometimes that we could do more when we are traveling? Yes. But I do understand that he genuinely has really tried the best he can. Our life together is colorful, and our life is beautiful because we are together. I think we both can agree with that.
Today has been quite an interesting day. Lots of things happened and I’ve made progress on various tasks. Sometimes I wonder if all I’m doing has any purpose or value. I know I tend to overthink. So for now I’ll just enjoy yet another spectacular sunset..
Even though I didn’t mention it, my companion suggested that we’d go to La Boca again today. He knew I found that neighborhood most interesting during yesterday’s city tour. And that’s the way he is..
However, as it turned out El Caminito is as touristy as it gets, and I barely captured anything images there. But this block of buildings caught my eye. This is how I’d like to remember La Boca..
This is something I probably will never get tired of.
I’m talking about watching sunset. Whether I’m home or traveling, I look forward to witnessing the sunset at the end of each day..
There’s no hidden meaning here. I simply love the pink color of these stacked up containers.
