No wonder people believe in God

A gorgeous sunset. That is my over-riding highlight of today. A beautiful, ceramic, cyan, heart-lifting sky of ultimate beauty. A still, cloudless, sky-bound palette of staggeringly beautiful simplicity. Spring at its grandest. Nature at its most grandeur. Suffolk at its purest and most potent. I sat outside as the light started to fade and I felt at one with the planet; at once insignificant and yet also connected to all. I am nothing without the Universe and the Universe is nothing without me. A long, dark, locked-down Winter of desperate despair fell away before the might of an onsetting Spring. Birdsong, swaying rapeseed and the smell of cut grass assaulting my senses with a dizzying balm of wonderment.

Yes, I’ve been drinking, in case you weren’t sure.
