Sunrise and Sunset Chaser
I have to experience the entire sunrise or sunset. I watch it from start to finish.
It completely absorbs me.
Time stands still.
I can’t think about anything else.
My mind empties and I’m completely connected to the clouds, colors, lighting, rocks and dirt.
I have to be there.
I have to experience the entire sunrise or sunset.
I watch it from start to finish, from the very first hints of pink through every shade of orange, yellow, blue and purple, as each cloud slowly changes shape, getting longer and lower across the sky.
It’s completely silent and we’re all alone.
The clouds and colors keep changing as I gradually turn to see the whole 360 degrees of the landscape. It captivates me, soothes me and exhilarates me.
Each time I turn around, there’s a slight shift, the pink is slightly brighter, the light has extended longer across the rocks, and the glowing sun gradually drops lower and lower and lower til it’s gone.
