St Thomas Sunset

One of the bonuses of being a sentient being is you get to recognize the beautiful things that are all around you.  Your mind can focus on a pin prick or the vast expanse of a colorful sunset.  

I love the sunrise and the sunset.

Sunrise is full of opportunity and new promise.  The world transforms from dark to light and things become clearer.  With light comes warmth, confidence and new vigor.  

Sunset lets you reflect on the day's gains and losses.  My world, or my particular part of the world, rests.  It's a respite from a busy and day.  But it's also a beginning.  It's a time for letting your hair down.  (What hair I do have).   

Not all days are created equal but sunrises and sunsets are consistent.  They are such amazing experiences.  It's as regular as clockwork. 

The real primo thing about a sunrise or a sunset is that it's free.  The only price you pay to experience it are the breath you take and the attention you spend.  So, hey big spender, spend a little time appreciating the finer things in life. 

They are  promises and the world always keeps her promises.  

Treat her well.
