Whenever the sun rises in the morning as you see it saying 'hello' from the mountains, as its rays peek through the leaves of trees and reach your skin, one can feel that special warmth that somehow radiates into you. It feels like the sun is beaming into you, as though it sends a warm welcome into the day. What a good morning it's going to be.
Whenever I'm in this, I find myself smiling inward. Truth be admitted, I'm not an early bird. In fact I find myself tucking in the comforts of my bed in the morning and if not of some day's expected labors or studies, I would rather have stayed. But this sleepyhead couldn't just ignore that mild appreciation of such beauty that seems like ordinary to others who have gone through the routine of doing morning errands.
Maybe I'm just too lazy or perhaps I'm too busy to look at the path I'm walking whenever I go out of the house in the morning. But whenever my sight catches such splendor of the sunrise peeking through the mountains or feel the rays through the leaves of the trees, my thoughts take break from the concerns of the day that I start to dictate from the daily to-do lists. That's a simple wonder my soul appreciates even for a second. Oftentimes I say to myself, how unlucky I am to miss such scenery if I don'n notice it every morning.
Sunsets, too, have equally immense impact to me. In this melancholic soul, who wouldn't believe it won't?
It is in catching this view from the bay-walk that leaves me in awe.. and in deep reflection. Some say that a sunset symbolizes a positive outlook - it signals new and coming start the next day. But oftentimes it leaves an impression of a blue feeling to me. It makes one remember some events in the past that only in your far corners of memories you hide. It brings back streaks of nostalgic emotions that are somehow built up within you some time ago, or even at that moment.
Whatever the impression it leaves to anyone, it cannot be denied that these beautiful symbols of the times of day are God's gift to mankind. How it appears touches the heart of someone who's looking at it and only he/she knows the message it carries...
