Dusk Dreaming - Arctic Sunset

It is quite remarkable, isn't it, that the sun rises and sets every day.  That through all of this hustle and bustle, if you just make time for it or notice it when it is happening, you can enjoy such a simple but beautiful thing.  Every day.  The light it sends across the skies.  Even if you're in an office, or a library studying hard looking out the window, the light at dusk and dawn hangs in the air in a special way.  

The moments at dusk and dawn, at sunrise and sunset, remind us that while we worry about little things like covering our straightened hair from the rain, or fixing our punctured bike tire on the way to work, or worrying about whether "he likes me, he likes me not", the Earth continues to turn.  Continues to rotate around the sun.  The atmosphere continues to protect us.  The clouds rain down water for the trees that grow buds and flowers, or where leaves turn red and fall gently to the damp ground.  Where animals scutter to and fro picking at insects and smaller animals we don't ever notice.  And the birds return when the ice has melted, setting up nests..  It is quite remarkable, that the sun rises and sets every day.  That the Earth keeps turning.  That our worries are for nothing.  Oh, to be a bird flying into the sunset...
