the magic hour

“It was the Magic Hour, the moment in time when every leaf and blade of grass seemed to separate, when sunlight, burnished by the rain and softened by the coming night, gave the world an impossibly beautiful glow.”

― Kristin Hannah, Magic Hour

I wonder how often I overlook the magic hour. How I don’t look up from my book, or am so focused on making the salad for dinner, I don’t take in what is happening around me. But this hour was too bold to miss. Even he said something.
