I have been thinking about something recently. How can someone tell the difference between a sunrise and a sunset? You know, during that moment when they both saturate the sky with numerous pastel colors and you cannot tell whether or not the sky will become lighter or darker? There is really no way to be 100% sure unless you look at your watch and know the natural order of things. Which, of course, everyone does, so we did not get anywhere with these ninety-five words so far. But, do you get what I am saying? Oh I know – if it was a picture it would be much harder. You can't put an exact time on a picture. Look up, I happen to have one. Before you read on, is it the endof a long day or the start of a new one? Ok, here's a hint:

"If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?" -Robert Wilson

"When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator." -Mahatma Gandhi

"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever." -Horace Mann

Sunrise or sunset, our world is a beautiful place to be. It is great to be alive. Living this life is a mix of success and failure, sadness and love and sacrifice, painted sunsets and wild storms. It's the rain that makes the sun seem so wonderful. And, never forget, whether the sun is coming up or going down, true peace is knowing who to thank.
