Sunrise and sunset are both magical, liminal times. Unfortunately the kind of hours we modern humans usually keep can prevent us from observing both dawn and dusk. Except, of course, in Winter. The upside of the short Winter days is that the sun rises later and sets earlier, making sunrise and sunset much more accessible to us.
When I can, I like to make time to sit and observe the beginning and end of the day. The video above was taken a couple of days ago, sitting on my bench overlooking the valley. Birds were singing the sun to bed, as a thickening mist spread over the folds of the hills. It was so beautiful, so peaceful, that I took a short video to share with you. I hope you like it!
Winter Blessings and Beauties: Day 35
Sunrise, Sunset
When you can, try to take the time to watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset at night. Observe the changes in light and temperature. Listen to how the soundscape changes, notice any scents carried on the breeze. Can you detect that moment when night becomes day? When day turns to night? How does the energy change?
