The early bird gets the worm...
but it won't always be satisfied.
Nature photo of the day: cloudy sunrise over the mountains east of Breb.
those who wake early before the sun floats up, up and away at a speed you can visibly see so close it almost hurts your eyes the blinding white of day was it always this way or was it more yellow I suppose I cannot say colors are subjective we see what we want we believe what we read we trust who we know and in times of quiet contemplation we sense what we feel that our earthly connection doesn't gleam as strong as it used to be to be an early riser is to be in the know for those who wake early - find gold - Cheryl M.
We are self-proclaimed early birds who wake before the sun. Which means we’ve seen the sun rise more than set in our lifetimes.
Due to living in the mountains, we get to see the sun rise from our covered porch. In the evening, the sun sets behind trees, somewhere in the distance, often behind another house. For the most part, we don’t get to see the sun fall, even if we did, it would be nowhere near as spectacular as the sun rising right outside our front door.
Luckily we don’t have to go far for the morning show.
But even though we get up early without fuss or fight, it doesn’t mean our days go smoothly all the way through the night.
Sure, mornings are easier and we get a lot done; come afternoon, the energy and inspiration begins to wear thin and it takes a lot of sleeping to get the worries and dissatisfaction out. Bedtime in winter is around 8, in summer around 10, embracing a natural rhythm, rising and going to bed with the sun.
What we are getting at here is that even if it often seems that early risers have it altogether, it may just be a mirage, quite like the rising sun itself.
With that, we wish you many happy sunrises, and pose a question to you, that’s already been asked before: “When Did The Sun Change Color From Yellow To White?”
As for the journal prompt of the day:
What does the sun mean to me?
Go deep with this one and shine your love for the sun as far as your rays can go. Don’t forget to mention any childhood experiences with the sun, pictures you have drawn, photographs you have taken, or any cherished memories of sunrises past.
