Let the fire emerge.
This morning I arrived outside to find these long clouds hanging near the horizon in an otherwise cloudless sky.
I took a few mediocre pictures while they were still gray, but I knew soon they would light up in color. Only I didn’t know when. There was nothing for me to do but wait.
I stood there waiting for about 30 minutes.
Eventually the colors came, like a fire emerging before my eyes. It was worth the wait.
You can’t force things to happen. You have to let them emerge.
