Tranquility descended upon the scene as the sun set, the sky darkened, and the colors deepened. Soft sounds of the neighborhood did little to disturb the scene; the clucking of neighbor’s chickens, chirping of birds, and the soft crunch of dry leaves as I shuffled about the backyard and found a stump for a seat.
First, the thin crescent Moon appeared, softly grinning in the twilight, followed by Venus closer to the horizon. As the pair brightened in the darkening sky, an interloping airliner left a short contrail as it streaked by. While the jet scurried hastily away, the celestial pair sedately settled towards the horizon as the darkness deepened. No hurry, no worries.
