POSTCARD: SUNRISE || THE ATLANTIC COAST

As I gaze into the stillness of the dark morning, a string of lights from distant ships dots the horizon. They appear as motionless as time itself. I wonder if they are fishing vessels gathering the day's fresh catch, or cargo ships patiently waiting their turn to dock at port.

The only movement is the gentle breeze drifting off the ocean, and the waves roll in quietly, never crashing against the shore.

Before the sun peeks above the horizon to signal the start of a new day, the dark sky gradually surrenders to soft pinks and blues, painting the early morning in tranquil hues.

Time has been scarce over the past month, and this morning is no different. Once it slips away, it's gone, never to return. We must plan and put in the effort to seize the moments that matter, before time takes them from us.

Catching a sunrise had been on my to-do list for the year. It’s there every day, but it took a moment of intention to truly see it.
