| And then I walked away. I got up, brushed myself off and smiled at the obviously puzzled German couple. I turned around and headed toward the parking lot, passing a few stragglers who were rushing over to get to the edge before the show began. Reaching my car, I got in and drove away. A few minutes later, driving from the Canyon to continue my journey, I could see the sun beginning to set in my rear view mirror. God, it must be beautiful there along the edge I thought to myself as I headed east. Heading toward tomorrow. You see, I wasn't running from the sight I had just left, I was saving it. Saving a sunset for someone I don't even know yet. So I can give it away as a small little gift. A small treasure from my heart for the person I have yet to meet but I know is out there somewhere. So as I continued east, the glare of the past reflecting in my eyes off the mirror, I caught a small glimpse of the future. My future. And I saw a camera in my hands as I lay against the tree. A child's tug against my sleeve as I held her close atop the bench. A small kiss upon my weathered cheek as I stood beside the railing. Then in my mind's eye I saw the sun set across the Canyon for the very first time. The sunset I had passed on today but was saving for tomorrow. As I stood with someone yet to know, staring into the face of God. |
