This is the Pink Minute. Ostensibly inspired by the blushing of the sunset christened Topa Topa bluffs that overlook the Ojai Valley — called the Pink Moment — the Pink Minute is here because I needed a place to share the things that meditation on this massive pile of reflective sandstones inspires me to dwell upon.

And while a Pink Moment can be observed and absorbed for say 20 minutes, 10 before and 10 after sunset, on most days in Ojai, the Pink Minute, being a direct inspiration of this strictly scheduled phenomenon, can glow at all times day and night in brief, quantifiable bursts both long and short that will leave the reader similarly basking in a state of dumb, wide-eyed mental wanderment. Welcome to my world.

The littlest things may make the most permanent impact. And I’ve heard it said that practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent. Its my pleasure to share the Pink Minute with you.

Enjoy.
