Is the sun ever to return?

An interesting day today. Spent at school of course. Everyone asked me what I was going to do before the end of the world tomorrow. How do you answer such an absurd question? I just shrugged the thought of my shoulders and continued on with my day. Upon my arrival back home, the thought reentered my mind. What would I do if the world was really going to end? There's only one thing I can think of that would bring me the most joy to see before I die. A sunset.

Some people want to go skydiving before they die. Others want to make a lot of money and have a wonderful family. Me? I wish to travel the glove and experience as many sunsets as I possibly can before I die. I long to travel to Europe and enjoy a lovely bowl of alfredo at a small restaurant in Italy as the sun sets before me. I long to return to the Caribbean and lay on a white sand beach to experience the sun set below the horizon miles and miles away out at sea. Most importantly, I long to share my sunset with someone special. I long to share my feelings with someone and know that they understand me and feel the love and inspiration I feel when I experience God's painted canvas in the sky before me.

My friends say I'll go blind staring at the sun as much as I do. Let them. It's all worth it. The beauty and the colors and the breathtaking night air are so deeply captivating and inspirational that I could stare forever. They think me insane and boring for sitting up on my hill just watching the sun descend into blackness, but they don't experience the beauty and emotion like I do. Sure they see the colors and the clouds and the majestic sun itself, but they don't see the freedom, the emotion, the love, the inspiration...






If the sun shall decide to bless me with its presence tonight, I shall post another picture from tonight, but for now enjoy this one from my archive of past sunsets (:
