[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.75]Passage 46 When Heaven and Earth Kiss [00:09.32]For my money, a good sunset is the cheapest shot of wonder out there. [00:14.90]Think of it —bursts of incandescent energy that can curl your toes, [00:20.49]warm your soul, and prove cost effective all at the same time. [00:25.73]The iciest hearts on the planet can be thawed by the heaven’s burnished flame. [00:31.09]Countries sitting down for peace talks ought to begin [00:34.60]blazing fire in my heart and senses. [00:35.21]with a joint viewing of rose-dipped hues and golden halos [00:37.66]When shall I be able to pass every minute near you, [00:40.17]merging into growing flowers of light. [00:41.61]with nothing to do but to love you [00:43.35]And for romance, this daily dose of celestial seduction [00:44.34]and nothing to think of but the pleasure of telling you of it and giving you proof of it? [00:48.49]is just what the love doctor ordered. [00:50.36]I loved you some time ago; since then I feel that I love you a thousand times better. [00:51.22]When first meeting the incredible woman who is now my wife, [00:55.38]I quickly caught what Bonnie was about when I asked the age-worn question, [00:56.59]Ever since I have known you I adore you more every day. [01:01.41]That proves how wrong is that saying of La Bruyere “Love comes all of a sudden.” [01:01.51]“So, what do you do?” [01:03.37]“I chase sunsets,” she replied. I was a goner. [01:07.97]Ah, let me see some of your faults; [01:08.40]I’m not sure if that was the exact moment when I fell in love, [01:11.91]be less beautiful,less graceful, less tender,less good. [01:13.21]but it was, at least, the start of my descent. [01:17.16]But never be jealous and never shed tears. [01:21.21]Your tears send me out of my mind... they set my very blood on fire. [01:21.64]—Ireland, the Emerald Isle. [01:24.60]One day we were traveling from the city of Galway toward the Ring of Kerry. [01:26.68]Believe me that it is utterly impossible for me to have a single thought that is not yours, [01:30.50]Late in the afternoon we discovered that a boat up ahead [01:35.00]a single fancy that is not submissive to your will. [01:35.20]could ferry us across a tributary and save some four hours’ driving time. [01:38.28]Rest well. Restore your health. [01:40.89]I made for the last launch, a mere ten minutes and eighteen kilometers away. [01:42.00]Come back to me and then at any rate before we die we ought to be able to say: [01:46.92]With luck, and no livestock crossings, we would just make it. [01:47.91]“We were happy for so very many days!” [01:51.84]Millions of kisses even to your dog. [01:52.05]All of a sudden Bonnie called out, “Stop!” [01:55.12]Dutifully, I pulled over. [01:57.52]Bonnie pointed to the sky. [01:59.72]It was the sunset. [02:01.79]Not just any sunset. [02:03.77]This clearly was a masterpiece. [02:06.61]Getting out, we drank deep of a heavenly show of amber and golden hues, [02:12.63]rose finger clouds painting the broad canvas of sky. [02:17.66]The bridge would wait another day. [02:20.28]The Ring of Kerry wasn’t going anywhere. [02:23.89]Bonnie and I inhaled the magnificent sunset like ambrosia. [02:29.14]Sunsets, and sunrises for that matter, are gifts served up in plentiful procession. [02:37.25]It’s one of life’s ways of taking a simple pause, marking the day. [02:42.61]If we’re too busy, caught in the whirlwind of our own manufacturing, we miss the magic. [02:49.39]What is required in order to drink the heady miracle of morning or evening light [02:55.73]is a consciousness of how we use the time allotted to us each day. [03:01.59]Pausing for a moment, we willingly open our spirits to the gifts of the universe. [03:08.43]These are indeed the gifts that help make life this good.
