See Life In Nature
As a child, I used to loathe sunsets.
The twilight time would bring melancholy and the upcoming hours of darkness that smother me with a heavy blanket of anxiety. Fear and loneliness crept up and settled in my bones, and they didn’t leave till dawn broke.
That’s my childhood years, in the household where my other four siblings had not experienced it similarly.
I wondered why I felt this way. It was so intense that I had to begin the quest for an answer to such misery at a very young age.
Fast forward a few decades of trial and error, stacks of notebooks and journals, years of Vipassana meditation, and education in psychology (primarily self-taught) — I became one with nature. I met the life that was absent before.
Now, I love the sunset as much as the sunrise.
There’s no terror or mystery about darkness, it happens every twelve hours. (sorry, the northernmost and southernmost regions…)
Nature reminds me that I must welcome the twilight dusk as warmly as the light of breaking dawn. It’s the truth of life, no other way.
Each day, nature presents us with a symphony of light and dark, a dance of sunrise and sunset. I don’t prefer one over the other; they’re both beautiful in their own unique ways, each offering a different perspective on life.
The dawn sky glowed a warm golden hue, casting a soft, luminous light over the waking world. Looking at the sea glinting in the sunrise sparkles a sense of hope within me. Each shimmering ray seems to whisper promises of a new beginning of endless possibilities.
It is the same as the vibrant twilight sky painted with orange, pink, and dark purple hues, creating a breathtaking canvas of fading daylight. The horizon glows with a serene beauty as the colors gradually deepen into the approaching night and utter gratitude and peace of the ending day.
Explore the darkness as much as the light. Celebrate the joy while embracing the pain. And in between, somewhere in the fifth dimension, you’ll discover a life worth living.
Thank you for spending time with me today.
