May 18

The moment the Sun disappeared below the horizon from the summit of Mt. Inasa 稲佐山.

Though the Sun is gone, the light still lingers within this fragile twilight hour where day and night brush against each other — painting the sky in soft, deepening layers of fiery orange and rose. A quiet 物の哀れ mono no aware settles over everything: the bittersweet beauty of something already passing even as we stand in its warmth.

To the setting sun and the lingering light: おやすみなさい。

Thank you for today.

ありがとう。最高です。

See you in the morning, when presence begins again.

I paused here at the summit at 7:16pm.

Stopped.

Breathed.

And I stayed with this fleeting afterglow for a few seconds.
