if your day begins before the sun fully rises over the Capitol Building.
You know for a fact that you're spending too much time at work if the same day ends in a glorious sunset just down the hill in the Anacostia River valley.
As long as today ended up being, these moments where I manage to successfully place myself in the path of beauty are the highlight of my day. They make the little irksome things that happen in the place where I earn my living, the angst of the 34 mile commute, and the uncertainty that goes with the job fade away just like the setting of the sun.

As long as today ended up being, these moments where I manage to successfully place myself in the path of beauty are the highlight of my day. They make the little irksome things that happen in the place where I earn my living, the angst of the 34 mile commute, and the uncertainty that goes with the job fade away just like the setting of the sun.
No matter what happens during the day, with any kind of luck there will be another sunrise tomorrow, and the end of the day will always arrive no matter how hard you work to resist the great cosmic clockwork.
These are the moments that I like to put myself in front of, especially if the arc of the sun in between them has been a bit trying. Put yourself in the way of beauty, and it will come to inhabit your life.
