Thanks, Cynthia for your comment and sharing your story. I totally agree with that boy’s sentiment. Enjoy every sunset while you can.

Splendidly put. Totally true.

When I was tutoring in Bermuda, I had a lad, thirteen maybe, beside me at the teaching table. I glanced out the window. The sunset was splendid. I just stood up and stepped outside. And then I called out to the boy, 'Come, and see the sunset. Math is amazing and we need it. But nothing is more wonderful than a sunset, and we need that too.' And we stood there together, wrapped in scarlet sky.

I often wonder if he ever watched a sunset again. Maybe he does.
