FROM THE GARDEN OF ZEN: January 2020

Setting Sun: Yuigahama-beach

The sun is about to sink behind the cape in the west and its slanting rays are coloring a pile of fleecy clouds across the sky with deep crimson of fire.

The reflection of evening glow is gently rippling on the calm sea-surface and is continuously changing its sparkles to adorn the seascape of sunset still more.

The drifting clouds arise and vanish every moment according to the unsteady flow of winds. The sea keeps undulating ceaselessly and reflecting the radiant glow in the sky which passes into nothingness soon.

Sunset: Yuigahama-beach

All things must pass away and so these fascinating colors and tones of the sunset glow must disappear before long.

Through the breaks in the thick clouds, the golden rays of the sun are softly illuminating the calm surface of the sea like the tender light of compassion arriving from somewhere high in the sky.

Shortly the shady twilight will dominate here and quiet down the blaze of colors which is spreading as far as the horizon.

Sunset: Yuigahama-beach

Before disappearing below the horizon, the setting sun is quietly emitting its last flickering flame into the air.

In the sky into which the scattered light is diffusing, the gray cumulus clouds are being carried away by the chill wind, changing their shapes constantly.

People standing at the water's edge are gazing steadfastly after the sun which is vanishing far across the sea.

The nightfall is closing in fleetly.
