Brilliant orange sunset

It had been a cloudy day as most days this summer in Ireland. Close to dusk, the room was suddenly filled with the most amazing glow of brilliant orange and as I gazed outside at the sky, I noticed the clouds had lifted off the horizon, allowing the illusive sun to send out an evening blessing. As I stepped out into the garden I felt almost hypnotized with the glorious beauty of the orange rays on the lawn, shrubs and flowers, all aglow in the unexpected, welcome light, the rain drops still glistening on their foliage. A truly holy moment.
