watch every sunrise and sunset

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

I seen many sunsets in my lifetime, however my first sunrise was in Miami this past April. It’s absolutely unreal, full of anticipation and when it rises over the horizon, it’s a blink-and-miss-it moment! I would love to see the sunrise on a morning of one day on the East Coast and fly to the West Coast to see the sunset on the same day. Now THAT would be a challenge!

I read somewhere the Koala Bear will stare at the setting sun to obtain a natural dose of Lithium. The K Bear is maybe receiving a bit too much, they sleep about 75% of the time.
Maybe we could learn to relax too if we took the time at the end of the day and watch every sunset.

Lithium Sunset” by STING

Fill my eyes
O Lithium sunset
And take this lonesome burden
Of worry from my mind
Take this heartache
Of obsidian darkness
And fold my darkness
Into your yellow light

I’ve been scattered I’ve been shattered
I’ve been knocked out of the race
But I’ll get better
I feel your light upon my face

Heal my soul
O Lithium sunset
And I’ll ride the turning world
Into another night
Into another night
Into another night
See mercury falling…
