The sun is setting earlier every day. It is something we look forward to because it is often a beautiful time of day, but we also hate to see the sun go down. We are usually eating dinner, or cleaning up after dinner when the sun sets. It is an interesting time of day because on one hand we are tempted to hurry about buttoning things up for the night before it gets dark. However, we are always drawn to watching the sun set and enjoy watching the last of the sun’s golden rays dip below the horizon. Sometimes we watch the sun go down and think the best part of the sunset has passed so we continue with our evening chores. Then we glance to the west a few minutes later and see the clouds glowing orange.
When we are living in a house I feel like we hardly ever watch the sunset. When it starts to get dark we flip on the light switch, or more often than not the lights are already on. We are insulated from the outside world by walls, windows, doors, and busy schedules. Life is not easy
in the Wilderness. We are kept busy from dawn to dusk and our bodies are tired at the end of the day, but your pace slows and we are more in tune with the natural world. Sunrise and sunset gain new meaning, and watching the light change at dawn and dusk is something we look forward to each day.
When was the last time you watched the sunrise or sunset?
