Just the other day, I was doing things at the rooftop when I just noticed how beautiful the sunset was. It was a red-orange kind of sunset, with all the clouds and birds, and the city line making it scenic. It cannot be expressed enough in words.
I uttered in awe, “Ang ganda, ang sarap picture-an, kaso nasa baba cellphone ko.”
My cousin replied, “Kunin mo na.”
“No, pagbalik ko iba na itsura nyan, I would miss the good part then.”
“Sayang yung picture.”
“Mas sayang yung makikita ko.”
My own words got me thinking. Sometimes for the sake of documenting everything, we get too distracted that we miss the real beauty of the moment in front of us.
Don’t get me wrong, I know how beautiful and awesome photos are, it can do a way better job than my descriptions. They indeed are worth a thousand words.
But on that day, I chose to let my eyes feast on the beautiful scenery in front of me and keep it in my memories instead of my gallery.
Strength in Grace
