" A Brief Opening "
- Daniel Owl -
The sky had been covered in clouds all day.
No clearings, no sunlight, nothing that suggested the light would change.
And then, for just a moment, a small opening appeared between the clouds.
A single ray of light reached the mountain, touching only a small part of the rock while everything around it remained in shadow.
It lasted only a few moments.
Then the clouds closed again.
Sometimes, the most beautiful moments are the ones that never stay for long.
And for those few seconds, the mountain seemed to hold its breath.
