What Was Beautiful - Shonna Anderson

What was beautiful was the way that the light played off the ocean. I’ve always loved the way the sunlight makes everything look in the afternoon. There’s a softness to it that bathes everything in a glow. It’s as though everything is soft around the edges. At the time I was lost in my thoughts, but the beauty of the afternoon light was something that even in that depressed state I couldn’t deny. I looked out at the waves crashing on the shore with the little beads of sunlight dancing on the surface and felt a small sense of peace. My world was not completely cold and grey, I could still sense the beauty in the afternoon. My favorite time of the day still captivated me, still stirred my soul.
