Beauty in my rear-view mirror…
On our drive back to Las Vegas from California last week I happened to glance in my passenger rear-view mirror. What I saw brought me up short; the sight was incredibly beautiful. Yet another reminder of life’s many lessons for me. In our haste to always see where we’re going it’s easy to lose sight of where we’ve been.
The scene I saw in that mirror was a breathtaking view of the mountains in the glorious colors of sunset. Ahead I saw a line (over 100 miles long!) of cars presumably heading back “home” from a Las Vegas pilgrimage.
As a passenger I rarely check the side mirrors. I’m glad I happened to on this occasion, though. I believe that vision will stay with me for years to come when thinking of the stark beauty of the west-coast mountains.
While our quest is that ahead of us I hope you (and I) never lose sight of the miles behind us. The view can be truly awesome.
