The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? It’s a hard question to answer isn’t it? It could be one magical sunset, or the time your kayak paddle broke through the crystal clear glass-like water of an Alaskan lake, or maybe the birth of a child. Chances are, you’ve got a pile of beautiful moments stashed away in your brain, ready to deliver to a friend at the bar or the group around a campfire. It can be hard to put your finger on one when asked, but they are always there, those images that play on repeat when you need them the most. I have several. This story is just one of many.
