The sky takes on shades of orange
during sunrise and sunset,
the color that gives you hope
that the sun will set only to rise again.
-Ram Charan
After a frenetic week
full of work, making appointments,
and trying to get things caught up
this band of orange light from sunset
came streaming in my window.
I dropped everything to create a photo -
because light is everything in a photograph.
When I was 10, I got to choose the colors
for my bedroom, including my carpet.
I chose shades of orange for the room.
I often wonder if it was part of who
I was to become that made me
enjoy those sunset oranges?
